Bloated Stomach / Wind
Abdominal bloating or swelling is defined as a condition in which the abdomen feels full and tight - this is often, but not always, caused by excessive intestinal gas.
- Food intolerance / Allergy
- Overeating
- Lactose / dairy intolerance
- Insufficient digestive enzymes
- Inflamed bowel
- Dehydration
- Fungal infection
- Bad food combining
Bloating can be very uncomfortable and can occur at any time - not always after eating. Screening with 'The Health Detective' can identify possible Food Sensitivities. An offending item can take as long as 72 hours to cause bloating (or any symptom) so is difficult to pinpoint through guesswork alone. Sometimes the body may be lacking essential enzymes to breakdown the food therefore a Vitamin & Mineral test is beneficial. Combined with Colonic Hydrotherapy, bloating and abdominal pain can be greatly reduced, in some cases, eliminated.
