Chronic Bloating
AÂ functional nutrition approach to uncovering triggers, improving digestion, and supporting long-term gut comfort.
What is Chronic Bloating?
Bloating happens when your abdomen feels full, tight, or swollen, and when it’s chronic, this discomfort can happen most days or after many meals. Symptoms may include gas, pressure, visible distension, abdominal discomfort, and sometimes changes in bowel habits. Chronic bloating is common, and often normalized, but it can significantly affect daily comfort, confidence, and enjoyment of meals.
What Causes Chronic Bloating?
There’s rarely a single cause of chronic bloating. Symptoms often arise from a combination of digestive, dietary, and lifestyle factors, including:
• Food triggers: Certain foods may produce excess gas, such as high-FODMAP foods, dairy, beans, or carbonated drinks.
• Digestive inefficiencies: Low stomach acid, enzyme insufficiency, or slow gut motility can contribute to bloating.
• Gut microbiome imbalances: Changes in bacterial or yeast balance can lead to increased gas and abdominal distension.
• Nervous system & stress: Stress can slow digestion, increase gut sensitivity, and worsen bloating.
• Lifestyle factors: Skipping meals, eating too quickly, dehydration, and lack of movement can all play a role.
