Beat the bloat

21/1/2019

​Are you bloated?  You’re not alone!  The majority of clients I see are dealing with some form of bloating and discomfort.
 
So many chronic issues stem from an underlying digestive issue, and so many of us have digestive issues.
 
This can be as a result of:
  • Modern eating habits – fast foods, processed foods, eating on the run, skipping meals, microwave reheating, sugar intake and more
  • Stress – stress has a huge impact on our digestion
  • Medications – many medications can affect the digestive tract, this is why so many people are placed on antacids with their medications.
  • Poor gut bacteria – this is why we are seeing an increase in mentions for probiotics.  As a Naturopath I would always choose a probiotic capsule over the drinks.
  • Food intolerances – this often comes back to one of the above
 
So what can you do?
There is a lot of advice out there, some true, some false and some misleading.  It gets really confusing and each week there is a new health trend you can follow.    So here are some basic principles to follow (if you are on medication seek the professional advice of a Naturopath like myself to be safe):
  • Take probiotics
  • Digestive herbs can help – my favorites are slippery elm and marshmallow
  • Check for food intolerances – I provide professional testing in clinic
  • Clean your diet – half of your diet should come from vegetables
  • Ditch the sugar – it feeds these issues
  • Stress management – find what suits you – reflexology, reiki, meditation, yoga, nature walking, breathing techniques, time with friends, talk, journal.
  • See a Naturopath - get to your root cause
 
When it comes to bloating, don’t ignore it, it can be the sign of an underlying issue that may be affecting your health and more often than not can be resolved simply.
