Dealing With Bloating

Hi, welcome or welcome back to my blog- today I wanted to talk about a problem we all face, which is bloating. Now slight bloating throughout the day is normal, but if you’re getting cramps, severe bloating and other problems your bloating could be caused by something other than a normal day of eating.

You could be intolerant to something- I had a gluten test recently, because I’ve been having odd digestion problems- I’ll update you when I find out, but if you think your bloating isn’t caused by any of the other causes I mention you may need to cut out gluten.

I also cut out dairy as much as possible just because it doesn’t really agree with my hormonal acne, but I also noticed my bloating significantly reduced when I stopped having so much dairy.

Refined sugars. Unfortunately, if you are consuming a lot of these then it is likely to be causing you bloating problems. Sometimes things that are labelled as healthy are packed full of sugar or even artificial sweeteners which can cause bloating.

Eating too quickly I realised was an issue, so try to eat slower and you will also not overeat by accident, which can cause bloating.

Overeating is obviously a potential problem, but just follow your hunger cues and by eating slower you also can reduce this problem.

Not drinking enough water causes your body to hold water, so you may suffer from water retention or bloating- lots of sodium can cause this issue too. If you ever wonder why you wake up feeling puffy, it could potentially be the issue of having a high salt takeaway the night before. Drinking lots of water the next day and exercising really helps to sweat out any toxins in your body.

Undereating can also be an issue of bloating, so make sure you are giving your body all the right nutrients!

Not eating for a long period of time, then eating lots in one go, as this causes you to over consume from starvation etc.
