The 8 main reasons why you constantly feel bloated (and how to solve the problem)

Bloating is one of the most common reasons I see in my practice, and the good news is that it can almost always be treated once the underlying cause is identified. Frequent bloating can be uncomfortable, but for many women, it affects their self-confidence and body image.

Here are the most common signs I look for when a patient complains of bloating:

Provisions
1. Intestinal yeast overgrowth

2. Food intolerances

3. Gluten sensitivity or celiac disease

4. Insulin resistance

5. Poor food combinations

6. Irregular meal times

7. Digestive enzyme deficiency (including lactose intolerance)

8. Other causes of dysbiosis: bacterial or parasitic overgrowth of the small intestine

Some of these factors can be screened for – food intolerance, gluten sensitivity, celiac disease, insulin resistance – and in other cases, treatment is based on symptoms and history.
