Have you tried probiotics, collagen, and cut out food groups but still feel bloated? Erin unpacks the 7 most overlooked (but common!) drivers behind chronic bloating that often go undetected in traditional care models. True digestive healing starts at the top, literally in your brain. And she’ll walk through how stress, poor digestion, and imbalances in the gut can contribute to that uncomfortable, distended feeling.
Rather than just focusing on what to cut out of your diet, Erin will help you zoom out and examine digestion from a functional lens: are you chewing enough? Do you have sufficient stomach acid? Could sluggish bile or bacterial overgrowth be to blame?
With practical insights, simple self-tests, and supplement strategies, this episode gives you a checklist to start solving the bloating mystery at its root.
In this episode:
- Why stress and rushed meals shut down digestion before food even hits your stomach
- The signs of low stomach acid and why it might be behind your food sensitivities
- How to tell if poor fat digestion or gallbladder issues are causing bloating
- The “I look 7 months pregnant” symptom Erin hears from clients with SIBO
- Why food sensitivities are often a SYMPTOM and not the root cause of digestive issues
