Do you constantly feel bloated—but no one can tell you why?
Bloating isn’t just uncomfortable; it can be disruptive, embarrassing, and even painful. While it’s a common symptom of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), for many people, bloating is the only symptom. So if you’re wondering why your stomach swells like a balloon even when you haven’t eaten much, you’re not alone—and there is hope.
Let’s break down what bloating really is, why it happens, and what you can do to finally get relief.
What Is Bloating?
Bloating is more than just a “full” feeling—it’s visible swelling in the abdomen, often described as:
- A firm, distended belly
- Feeling like there’s a “basketball” under your shirt
- Looking 5 or 6 months pregnant
- Your clothes fitting tighter throughout the day, especially your waistband or bra
- Internal pressure against your lungs, ribs, or lower back
Bloating can be soft or painfully hard, mild or extreme. And here’s the tricky part: it may or may not come with gas, discomfort, or changes in bowel movements.
What Causes Bloating?
The causes of bloating are complex—but here are the most common culprits:
1. Trapped Gas
The number one cause of bloating is excess gas in the digestive tract. But it’s not always gas you can pass. With over 30 feet of intestines, gas can easily get trapped deep in your system, inflating the intestines and pushing your belly outward.
2. Constipation
If you’re not having regular bowel movements, stool builds up and causes the colon to swell. This is a very common and overlooked cause of bloating.
3. Inflammation
Inflammation in the gut causes swelling and fluid retention, which can feel and appear just like bloating. Inflammatory triggers include food sensitivities, bacterial imbalance, and autoimmune conditions.
Why Is This Happening to You?
Here’s the bottom line: your digestive system may not be breaking down food properly. When food isn’t digested efficiently, it sits too long in the gut, where bacteria ferment it—creating excess gas, inflammation, and discomfort.
There are hundreds of reasons this could be happening. That’s why no single diet, probiotic, or supplement works for everyone.
Your bloating is personal, and so is the solution.
