If you have felt the uncomfortable sensation of your stomach expanding after eating, you are not alone. Up to 30% of Americans experience bloating and distention regularly, which are common symptoms of an imbalance in the gut, and they may even be a sign of other health conditions. Functional Medicine places a high value on a healthy gut and uses a whole-body approach to get to the root cause of bloating.
In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Dr. Todd LePine, and Dr. George Papanicolaou about why so many people experience bloating and the importance of treating it.
