What's your digestion type?

The Bloated Gut

Gas, bloating, and a belly that feels tight.

Your answers point to gas and bloating as your main pattern — pressure and distension that often flare after particular foods. This usually comes down to how certain foods ferment in the gut and how much air gets swallowed while eating, rather than anything being fundamentally 'wrong' with your stomach. The most useful approach is part detective work, part soothing: tracking which foods reliably set you off (common culprits include dairy, beans, onions, and carbonation) while using carminative herbs — the traditional class used specifically to ease gas and relax the gut wall. Eating slowly and favoring warm, well-cooked meals over cold or raw ones during a flare tends to help noticeably, since both reduce the fermentation and swallowed air that drive the bloat.

Where to focus

  • Track trigger foods and eat slowly to reduce swallowed air.
  • Carminative herbs traditionally used to relieve gas and bloating.
  • Warm, well-cooked meals over cold or raw when you're flaring.
