Today, we’re going to talk about how to get rid of bloating and abdominal distension. 


The major source of stomach bloating is microbial fermentation. This is the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates by a microbe. These microbes have the ability to breakdown fiber, whereas the body can’t. 


When the microbes breakdown these undigestible fibers, they turn them into some interesting things:

1. SCFA (small-chain fatty acids)

2. Lactic acid 

3. Methane 

4. Hydrogen 

5. CO2

6. Nitrogen 

7. Hydrogen sulfide 


What you can do to help reduce bloating:


1. Adjust or eliminate your consumption of certain carbs/fiber like:

 • Fruit

 • Garlic

 • Onions

 • Asparagus 

 • Milk 

 • Yogurt

 • Beans


2. Add a good probiotic 


3. Try certain foods to reduce bloating:

 • Fennel 

 • Ginger

 • Anise

 • Peppermint 


4. Take apple cider vinegar or betaine hydrochloride
