Bloating isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s exhausting.
The puffed-up belly, the tight jeans that suddenly don’t fit, the second-guessing every bite you eat.
If you constantly feel like you’re one meal away from looking six months pregnant, you’re not alone.
And no, it’s not all in your head.
Let’s break down the most common causes of chronic bloating and what you can do to actually feel good again.
1. Food Intolerances (The Sneaky Trigger)
Lactose, gluten, FODMAPs, even healthy foods like onions or garlic can trigger bloating if your gut isn’t absorbing them properly.
Your digestive system may be reacting to these ingredients with gas, inflammation, or fermentation.
What to try:
-
Try a food diary to track what causes flare-ups
-
Consider eliminating common culprits like dairy, gluten, or high-FODMAP foods
-
Support digestion with soothing, gut-supportive ingredients like fennel or peppermint
2. Poor Gut Lining Integrity
Also known as "leaky gut," this happens when the lining of your intestines becomes too permeable, allowing food particles and toxins to leak through, triggering inflammation and bloating.
What to try:
-
Repair the gut lining with nutrients like L-Glutamine and Marshmallow Root
-
Eat anti-inflammatory, whole foods
-
Avoid ultra-processed snacks and inflammatory oils
3. Imbalanced Gut Bacteria (Or SIBO)
If you have an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine (SIBO), or an imbalance in your microbiome, even small amounts of food can trigger bloating and gas.
What to try:
-
Antimicrobial herbs like Thyme and Oregano Oil can help rebalance gut bacteria
-
Limit sugar and processed carbs that feed harmful bacteria
-
Consider working with a practitioner if you suspect SIBO
4. Stress (Yes, Really)
Your gut and brain are deeply connected.
If you’re in constant fight-or-flight mode, your digestion slows down, food ferments, and bloating becomes a daily struggle.
What to try:
-
Deep belly breathing before meals
-
Gentle movement like walking or Pilates
-
Soothing rituals like tea, journaling, less doomscrolling
5. Sluggish Digestion
Low stomach acid, poor bile flow, or general digestive stagnation can leave food sitting in your gut longer than it should, which means gas, bloating, and discomfort.
What to try:
-
Use digestive bitters or bile-supporting herbs like Globe Artichoke
-
Drink water 30 minutes before meals, not during
-
Stay upright after eating (no slouching or lying down)
