Help and advice on beating stomach bloating once and for all!
Posts tagged as:
You may know that stomach bloating is most often caused by undigested food. For whole heap of possible reasons, your body doesn’t digest certain types of food.
These then sit in your gut, fermenting away. This causes the gas which pumps your stomach up like a balloon and makes you feel all icky.
One of the reasons food doesn’t easily digest is because we eat the wrong kinds of foods together at the same time.

In my last post I urged you to try a raw food diet to reduce your bloated belly.
Yesterday I found myself seriously suffering from a very large bloated belly. I actually felt utterly horrible—full of wind, lacking in energy, highly uncomfortable. Bleurgh!
I’m not sure what triggered it—I do generally seem to suffer a great deal after the weekend. I wonder if it’s to do with changes in my eating habits?
Does anyone else suffer more bloating after a weekend?
In any case, I decided to test the raw food theory. Here’s a quick snapshot I took on my iPhone of the lunch I prepared yesterday:

As I’ve mentioned many times, much stomach bloating is caused by undigested food remaining in your gut, which ferments and produces the gas which blows your stomach up.
Eating raw food (such as salad, fruit, nuts and seeds) is often recommended.

Hi everyone, and hope you all had a great weekend!
We had a party for a friend’s birthday and had a great time. If yours was anything like my weekend, you also maybe had an alcoholic drink or 2?
Most likely you’re now feeling the effects in the form of a swollen stomach and excess gas caused by bloating. I know alcohol can not only cause a swollen stomach but also a bloated face, swollen lips, puffy eyelids and even broken veins in hardened drinkers!
Add to that flatulence, excess gas and loose stools and… well… it can make you feel uncomfortable and unattractive that’s for sure.

I’ve talked a lot on this blog about bloating being due to excess gas caused by fermentation of undigested food. That is often the case, true.
But as you might know all too well, the causes of bloating can be various and complex.
One major cause of bloating I haven’t touched on is water retention. This is where your body retains too much water, giving you a bloated feeling and appearance. Same basic symptoms – feeling of being full, appearance of being overweight – but from a completely different cause.
Do you suffer from water retention? Is it likely to be the cause of your bloated belly?

I spotted an excellent recent article today at the online version of the Times newspaper in the UK. Called ‘How to deal with… Bloating‘, it shares the different viewpoints of 3 different kinds of health professionals.
I think a mistake people often make when looking for bloating relief is to only focus on one area, as if one single issue is the cause. For one person, that might be just food intake. For another, it might be to worry about wider health issues. This article—rightly—shows 3 different viewpoints.
