What causes bloating?
Bloating of the stomach is not caused by excess weight; here are the 3 types of bloating you need to know about.
Gut flora imbalance
The ‘inflated belly’ is the kind of bloating that gets visibly worse as the day progresses. Usually caused by an intestinal flora imbalance or lazy gut syndrome.
Lifestyle factors
Bloating of the lower belly can be triggered by a monotonous diet, recently giving birth or overexertion during exercise.
Stress belly
Excessive stress, unhealthy eating, frequently missing meals and consuming excessive caffeine can cause this type of bloating.
How to recognise bloating
Bloating is rarely unaccompanied, and one or more of the following symptoms will usually make an appearance during your day.

Bellyaches

Occasional diarrhea
Occasional diarrhea due to imbalanced bacteria in the small intestine, can increase gas production, further affecting bloating levels.
Nausea & Heartburn
A swollen gut feels full and ressurized, often fueling the sensation of acid-reflux.
Bloating: Tips & Remedies
Bloating has become such a common experience for some people, they don’t even regard it as an irregularity. But, your body is asking for help and here’s what you can do:

Get moving
Physical activities can help move your bowels and in turn, release any excess gas or stool. Even a brisk walk or some light yoga poses can help!
Give yourself an abdominal massage
Applying pressure over the large intestine can help to get the bowels moving, relieving gas in the process.
Ditch the gum
Sugar alcohols in chewing gum contribute to gas in most people. What’s more, swallowing air whilst chewing may increase bloating levels.
