Bloating Prevalence and Associations
- Bloating, a common digestive issue, affects about 31% of the US population, and is twice as common in females.
- It often co-occurs with other digestive problems like IBS, SIBO, and celiac disease.
Four-Component Model for Bloating
- Address bloating using a four-component model: microbiota/leaky gut, food intolerances, motility, and pelvic floor dysfunction.
- Start with microbiota and leaky gut imbalances, as these can cause food intolerances and motility issues.
Probiotics for Gut Health
- Probiotics are a powerful tool for improving gut health and reducing bloating.
- Studies show probiotics to be as effective as antibiotics in treating SIBO and improving leaky gut.
