UGH Bloating!
At some point, you probably have felt that uncomfortable balloon belly…
Maybe it was a one-off experience, but from talking to most of the women I know and work with- sadly I know it hasn’t been just that time you chugged some sparkling water that you felt your stomach blow up…
If bloat and distention are repeat offenders in your life- please read on. And if you’re one of the #blessed ones who doesn’t deal with this, pass this on to your friends who do, because poor digestive health is common, but might this be something to dive deeper into.
First: Let’s understand some definitions:
Bloat vs Distention
Bloat is a subjective feeling of abdominal distention. It may or may not be accompanied by visible distention. Gassy, full, or inflamed are some terms you may have used to characterize this feeling.
Distention, on the other hand, is a visible increase in abdominal girth. If you’ve ever said, "I look pregnant," this would be distention.
