Question: What are some common causes of stomach bloating? Also what can I do about it? I have not been overeating and I feel fine otherwise. I appreciate your help!

Answer: There can be many causes of stomach bloating and some can be quite serious. It is a good idea to see your physician to rule out any possible underlying medical cause. Some other causes of stomach bloating include:

• Intolerance to certain foods (dairy, fruit, etc.)
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Allergies
• Bowel Obstruction
• Constipation
• Cysts
• Parasites
• Excessive carbonated beverages

There are ways to relieve the symptoms of bloating and the most effective way is to increase your daily fiber intake. This will produce regular, well formed, bowel movements that will alleviate the symptoms of bloating.

Another cause could be that your colon is not operating at its peak efficiency due to a build up of undigested foods. To rid yourself of this you should consider an herbal supplement that will cleanse the colon such as Colonix or another leading brand.
