Gas and Bloating

 




Gas and bloating can be highly uncomfortable and next to constipation; it is one of the most common complaints. 

 

Several reasons could cause gas and bloat:

Examples include constipation, enzyme deficiency, food intolerance, food allergy, food sensitivity, imbalance in the microbiome, and poor diet.  Identifying why or what causes bloating can be frustrating. 

 

What can you do? Start with Colon Hydrotherapy, cleanse your colon, and flush your colon of any impacted stool. Do you feel better after colon hydrotherapy if you are experiencing constipation and impacted stool? If you do, Constipation may cause your gas and bloat.  Work on constipation and work toward building a healthy Microbiome. 

 

This next section is for you if you have gas, bloating, and regular bowel movements. Keep a food log, identify food within 30 to 3 hours after eating, and pay attention to your body. There are several resources to follow up on what may be giving you the bloating and swelling. Like Dr. B says, eliminate the food for a period of time and reintegrate it back in SLOWLY. It is about inclusion, not elimination. 

 

Limiting our diet causes allergies and sensitivities. The more diverse food we eat is a sign of a healthy gut.

 

Tips if you have Bloating and Gas start here:

 

1. Eat smaller meals

2. Slow down and chew your food

3. Stay away from artificial sweeteners

4. Eliminate dairy from your diet

Understanding Motility and Prokinetics in Gut Health

  Understanding Motility and Prokinetics in Gut Health Introduction to Gut Motility Gut motility refers to the movement of contents through the digestive tract, primarily driven by a coordinated series of muscle contractions. These contractions, known as peristalsis, propel feces through the colon and eventually out of the body. Optimal gut motility is essential for nutrient absorption, digestion, and waste elimination. When motility is impaired, it can lead to conditions such as constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction. This article unpacks motility, explores the concept of prokinetics, examines natural and dietary sources that stimulate gut motility, and reviews the current literature on this critical topic in gastroenterology. What Are Prokinetics? Prokinetics are substances—whether pharmaceutical, herbal, or dietary—that enhance gastrointestinal motility by stimulating the smooth muscles of the gut. By improving motility, they help ...

Unlocking the Potential of Akkermansia: A Gut Health Revolution

  Unlocking the Potential of Akkermansia: A Gut Health Revolution What Is the Microbiome? The human microbiome is a complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms living in and on our body, particularly within the gut. These microbes—comprising bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea—not only assist in digesting food but also play crucial roles in immunity, mood regulation, and overall health. Among these microscopic allies is Akkermansia muciniphila (often referred to as "Akkermansia"), a bacterium now gaining significant attention for its profound impact on gut health. What Is Akkermansia? Akkermansia muciniphila is a gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium discovered in 2004. It makes up roughly 3% of the total gut microbiota in healthy individuals and primarily resides in the mucus layer of the intestinal lining. Its unique trait lies in its ability to break down mucin—a key protein in the gut's mucus layer—making it essential for maintaining gut barrier function and pro...
