Feeling Bloated After Meals? Waking Up With a Heavy Stomach? Or perhaps you are struggling with alternating diarrhoea and constipation? These are more than just “digestive discomforts” — they are signals from your gut that something is off-balance.
Let’s break down what is happening and, more importantly, effective ways to support your digestive health.
Why Bloating Happens: The Real Causes
Bloating is one of the most common signs of gut imbalance. It often appears alongside constipation, wind, or sudden loose stools. Here are the primary culprits:
1. Imbalanced Gut Microbiome
When bad bacteria outgrow good bacteria, your digestion slows down. Food ferments longer in the gut, producing excess gas which causes bloating, pressure, and discomfort.
2. Slow Bowel Movement (Constipation)
Constipation traps waste inside your colon. The longer the stool remains, the more gas builds up, leading to bloating, nausea, and a loss of appetite.
3. Difficulty Digesting Certain Foods
Dairy, beans, onions, garlic, and high-fat meals can often trigger bloating or diarrhoea, especially when your gut flora is weak.
4. Stress And Poor Sleep
Stress hormones can slow gut motility and weaken immunity, which may lead to constipation or unpredictable diarrhoea.
5. Fast Eating Or Irregular Meal Times
Swallowing excess air or eating late at night sends mixed signals to your digestive system.
Common Myths About Gut Discomfort
Let’s clear up a few misconceptions:
❌ Myth 1: Bloating is normal — everyone has it.
While occasional bloating happens, persistent bloating is often a clear sign of gut imbalance.
❌ Myth 2: Drinking more water solves everything.
Hydration helps, but if the gut microbiome is unbalanced, water alone will not resolve constipation or bloating.
❌ Myth 3: Avoiding food stops diarrhoea.
Skipping meals can weaken digestion further and disrupt bowel movement patterns.
