Do you always feel like your bloated? You should probably check these 5 root causes of bloating by DailyHealthPost. Once you know the cause, you can easily stop bloating by using natural remedies.
1 – Low stomach acid levels
When your stomach doesn’t make enough hydrochloric acid, the food you consume can stay undigested in your stomach for too long. Poor diet, eating too quickly, antibiotic use, H. pylori infection, and stress may be the cause. If you are sure that you have low stomach acid levels, you can use Betaine HCL.
2 – Poor gallbladder health
Your gallbladder releases enzymes that help break dietary fat. If the tube that carries bile from the gallbladder to the small intestine is blocked, you may experience gas and bloating after eating a high-fat meal. Try adding bitter herbs to your diet like ginger, arugula, endive, cilantro, turmeric, dandelion, cumin, fennel, mint, leeks, and parsley.

To figure out what causes your bloating, start an elimination diet. Take out these foods from your diet for 2 weeks: vegetable oils, gluten, dairy, refined sugar, corn, shellfish, eggs, grains, corn, soy, legumes, nightshade vegetables, and tree nuts. After two weeks have passed, start adding them back to your diet, one at a time. Try a new food for 2 to 3 days, then see if you have any symptoms. If you have symptoms, stop eating the new food.
