Bloating isn't a necessary evil that women must endure due to stress, busyness, or menstruation. We break down the real causes and practical solutions so you can finally address this uncomfortable issue and move on with your life.
• Bloating stems from swallowed air, gas in your digestive tract, or fluid retention
• Hormonal fluctuations before your period naturally cause mild bloating, but excessive bloating may indicate imbalance
• Chronic stress impairs digestive function by reducing necessary stomach acid and enzymes
• Common food triggers include gluten, dairy, raw vegetables, sugar, alcohol, and lectin-containing foods
• Tracking your symptoms is essential for identifying your unique bloating triggers
• Sit down and eat slowly to support proper digestion and adequate stomach acid production
• Try incorporating apple cider vinegar before meals to support digestion
• Digestive enzymes can provide relief while you work on addressing root causes
• Reducing processed foods, alcohol and sugar decreases inflammation that contributes to bloating
