What Causes Stomach Bloating?

Bloated Belly, Abdominal Distention

Prevalence, Causes and Treatment

One of the commonest causes of bloating is the action of food toxins from eating inappropriate foods. This is the inability to fully digest certain things - previously known as food intolerance. 

Incomplete digestive processing produces unexpected gases in the intestine - creating painful pressure, and making the belly swell up - stomach bloating.

Member letter

'I just wanted to thank you for your website and program. I've been mainly suffering from severe stomach cramping and bloating. But also bad moods, liquid retention and more for the past 12 months. It was a sudden onset and I thought it was from drinking too much water.

I went to the Dr.s and they said my body has just changed and that I’m just fatter. I got to stages where I got sent home from work because I was so tired that my eyes wouldn't stay open.

In only 1 week . . . i feel sooooooooooooooooooo much better. I feel like my old self again. just wanted to say a very big thank you.

(Later) Hello! Of course you can use my letter, that's no problems at all. Thanks for asking. Have a safe Xmas & new year!' Emily

 

What if I do nothing about my stomach bloating?

What to do next

You can choose to do nothing of course. But untreated stomach bloating usually leads to chronic symptoms (those you will suffer for the rest of your life).

And sometimes they develop into chronic disorders like inflammatory disease. Actually a bloated stomach is a valuable warning sign that you could develop further health issues. It's like a Red Flag - so it's a very useful alarm signal.

In fact - most cases of Irritable Bowel, colitis, Crohn's disease, Celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease start out as abdominal pain and bloating.
