One of the most common things women come to see me for is bloating.
Bloating is the feeling of a swollen belly or abdomen, usually after eating. Some women explain that they ‘feel like they are 6 months pregnant!’
In this blog I discuss the many causes of bloating including:
- Food intolerances
- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or SIBO
- Constipation
- Overeating at the previous meal
- Chronic conditions that affect the gut, including Crohn’s and Coeliac Disease
- Hormonal conditions that can indirectly affect the gut, including PMS, PCOS and Endometriosis
