When it comes to health problems, people feel that bloating ranks high up. After all, it can interfere with every aspect of their life, causing them to feel self-confident and unhappy with the way they look – women especially. However, if the underlying reason is known, managing the condition can be easy to do.
These are 7 possible causes behind the common complaint of bloating:
· Proliferation of Intestinal Yeast – The most common reason you suffer bloating is the proliferation of yeast in the intestines – typically the result of long-term or recurring antibiotic use.
· Intolerance to Certain Food – If you suffer from a food intolerance such as eggs, dairy, nuts, wheat, corn or others, it can lead to intestinal tract irritation, which causes bloating. It can also lead to inflammation and immune stress.
· Celiac Disease or Gluten Sensitivity – People who have celiac disease or suffer from gluten sensitivity tend to have bloating, diarrhea and constipation. More people are being diagnosed with these conditions because of how wheat is now manufactured.
· Insulin Resistance – Your body becomes resistant to insulin because the cells do not react properly or in a weak manner to insulin signals. Some common insulin resistance signs include a boost in appetite, extreme cravings for sweets and carbohydrates, weight gain and bloating.
· Inadequate Combination of Food – Foods that are not properly combined can hinder the digestive process, leading to indigestion and bloating.
· Not Eating Properly and Regularly – If you fail to eat at the proper times or you go for long periods of time without consuming food, your metabolism suffers. If you skip breakfast and eat a big lunch, it can lead to bloating problems.
· Absence of Digestive Enzymes – Bloating can also be caused by the body’s inability to generate digestive enzymes. This problem is the result of five things – aging, less stomach acid, the proliferation of parasites, yeast and bacteria and food intolerances.
Doctors can test you for some of the above conditions whereas other conditions must be treated based on your medical history and symptoms.
