Episode 258: Why You are Bloated (and How to Fix It)
If you’re ending the day feeling six months pregnant even though you started the morning fine, listen up. Occasional bloating can happen, but daily, uncomfortable, end-of-day bloating is not normal. And it’s not something probiotics or cutting more foods will fix. Bloating is a signal that digestion, minerals, stress, or blood sugar are out of sync, and once you understand the real cause, relief becomes much more attainable.
In this episode we’re sharing:
Why low stomach acid is one of the most common (and overlooked) causes of bloating, especially if it happens soon after meals
How H. pylori suppresses stomach acid, why bloating won’t resolve until it’s addressed, and how it’s often passed back and forth
The role of minerals like sodium and zinc in digestion, and why electrolytes sometimes help bloating
How bitters support both stomach acid and bile flow, and exactly how to use them before meals
Why poor fat digestion and sluggish bile flow cause rapid bloating, right-sided fullness, and floating stools
How constipation (even if you’re going daily) leads to fermentation, pressure, and bloating
The connection between blood sugar crashes, fatigue, anxiety, and bloating after meals
Why nervous system dysregulation shuts digestion down, especially postpartum or during busy, high-stress seasons
Bloating isn’t something to silence, it’s information. Restricting food, cutting carbs, or piling on probiotics often makes it worse. When you support stomach acid, bile flow, minerals, hydration, blood sugar, and your nervous system, digestion can finally work the way it’s supposed to. This episode will help you understand what your body is asking for, and where to start so you can end your day feeling comfortable again.
