💥 Causes of bloating you didn’t know ⬇️⬇️

First, let’s be clear. Bloating is NOT normal when it is painful, extreme, or happens every day ❌

If you’ve tried the usual things (like eating slowly, chewing thoroughly, drinking beverages at room temperature, and walking after meals) but STILL can’t seem to find a solution for bloating…

It’s time to look deeper for a cause.

Some of the potential issues underneath could be:

▪️ Parasites

▪️ Low stomach acid

▪️ Gut motility issues

▪️ H.pylori overgrowth

▪️ Low digestive enzymes

▪️ Dysbiosis (disrupted gut microbiome)

▪️ Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)

▪️ Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIFO)

▪️ Leaky gut (increased permeability)

This is not an exhaustive list! These are only the issues that are specific to the gut, but bloating can also be caused by 🌸hormones, 😩stress, or 🍷alcohol consumption.

The only way to solve a problem is to first find out what the problem actually is. This is something we excel at in naturopathic & functional medicine.
