Bloating is one of the most common concerns I see in the clinic.
If it were something I was personally experiencing, here are 5 things I’d consider as a gut health naturopath:
💫 Reduce Snacking
Frequent snacking can disrupt natural digestive rhythms and delay gastric emptying, both of which may contribute to bloating. Aim for balanced meals spaced throughout the day to give your digestive system time to rest and reset.
💫 Track Your Diet & Symptoms
Keeping a diet diary using a free app like Easy Diet Diary can help identify patterns between food and symptoms.
Note: This is not recommended for individuals with a current or past history of eating disorders or disordered eating.
💫 Address Stress
Stress significantly impacts digestion and can exacerbate bloating. Incorporating simple mindfulness practices—like deep breathing, meditation, or walking without your phone—can support your nervous system and digestion.
💫 Lemon & Ginger Tea
These are gentle digestive stimulants that can help support gastric secretions before meals. If you’re not a fan of both, using either lemon or ginger on its own can still be beneficial.
💫 Consider Microbiome Testing
If you’ve tried the basics and your symptoms persist, it may be time to take a closer look at your gut microbiome. Functional testing can offer valuable insights and help guide more targeted support.
🌿 If bloating is something you’re dealing with, you’re not alone—and there are ways forward.
