Bloating

- Symptom of many health conditions
- Can be a sign of serious illness
- Can be alleviated with healthy diet

Bloating is a swelling in the lower abdomen and can have various causes. Bloating occurs when an excess of gas builds up in the stomach and intestines. Consequently, bloating can cause abdominal pain, but such pain is often relieved once the excess gas passes.
Bloating can usually be prevented and managed through diet and lifestyle adjustments. Since foods high in fat are most often the cause of bloating, it is best to avoid such foods to prevent it.
Common Causes
1. Over-eating
2. Irritable bowel syndrome
3. Lactose intolerance
4. Food allergies
5. Constipation
6. Time of menstruation
