How to Prevent Bloating
Common Causes of Bloating
If you are experiencing stomach bloating, you’re not alone. If you want to stop your stomach from feeling like a balloon, you need to understand the causes and how to prevent it. Stomach bloating results from “distention” of the abdomen. In other words, the walls of your lower abdomen are being unnaturally pushed out.
Sometimes this bloating is temporary and caused by something simple, like swallowing too much air while chewing your food. Other times it’s more complicated and is related to improper or incomplete digestion. It may even be related to another underlying health condition, or may indicate the presence of intestinal parasites.
Stomach bloating, as you are no doubt aware, is both uncomfortable and unsightly. Certain foods, a buildup of gas, and the ingesting of too much air while eating contribute to the problem. It can also be caused by a buildup of old fecal matter in the colon, or may even be a side effect of some other condition, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Bloating can have a number of different causes, but the effect is the same: unsightly swelling in the abdomen, cramping, discomfort, and pain.
Many people try to stop bloating in the same ways they try to lose weight, by modifying their diets or taking diuretics. These may have some effect, since bloating can sometimes be triggered by reactions to certain foods and sodium intake, but diet modification and pills can only go so far. Remember, this is not a fat problem. If you’ve been doing a hundred crunches a day to rid yourself of that annoying bulge, you may be barking up the wrong tree.
The Key is a Healthy Colon
A much more effective method to stop bloating is a complete and thorough cleansing of the digestive system. Try a colon cleansing program that will attack the bulge from the accumulated waste in the colon. When the colon is able to purge years of accumulated matter from it, it leads to a lot of happy side effects. Digestion improves, bowel movements are more regular, and symptoms of gas are reduced. Colon cleansing is effective in cases of bloating because it targets the part of the body where excess fecal matter and other buildup occurs.
If you suffer from excessive bloating and hard or painful stools, you’ll need a bloating remedy that doesn’t just treat the gas symptoms and the constipation, but gets to the root of your problems – intestinal buildup. Undigested food matter sometimes is left behind in the colon when the body is unable to purge it naturally. Over time, a thick crust of feces forms on the walls of your colon, and creates a blockage. Ideally, food has an inch of open colonic tubing to pass through, but now it has just half an inch of space. Colonic blockage therefore cuts down the digestive capacity of your system by as much as half. Is it any wonder then, that constipation results? You are consuming the same amount of food as before, but the digestive capacity of your colon has reduced dramatically.
If your constipation symptoms are restricted to hard and stressful stools, you will need to first enable stools to soften up before they are passed through the body. DrFloras® Bowel Regulator is a safe herbal preparation that makes passing stools less painful. You’ll begin to see results as early as a couple of days after taking the product.
You’d be amazed what a complete internal cleanse can do for your symptoms. What do you have to lose, besides your suffering?
