Bloating

Bloating is any abnormal swelling or feeling of fullness or tightness in the abdomen. Bloating can make the belly look enlarged. It can also create dull or sharp stomach pains that won’t go away. Everyone experiences bloating and gas at some point and most look for ways to immediately relieve the discomfort. Avoid bloating with these tips:

• Slowly chew food
• Drink only a maximum of 6 ounces of water with each meal. This allows the stomach to digest food properly

Determine the type of bloating you may have:

• Bloating and gas above the belly button may indicate difficulty breaking down food. A digestive aid such Advanced Digestive Enzyme Formula helps to support the digestive system
• Bloating and gas below the belly button may indicate difficulty absorbing the nutrients from food.
• Advanced ProBiotic Formula will help rebuild intestinal flora to better absorb food into energy

Food Sensitivities and intolerances may also contribute to discomfort. Consider asking for an IgG food sensitivity/intolerance test from an integrative practitioner. Sensitivity or intolerance to certain foods can contribute to discomfort. Often removing sensitive foods from the diet can lead to relief.
