Instant Bloating Relief

by Kirsten Jackson Consultant Dietitian BSc Hons, RD, PG Cert Leave a Comment

Are you looking for instant bloating relief? This is the article for you! 

Our stomachs will change in size throughout the day with normal food intakes. But what if it’s a bit more than normal?

Bloating is something we have all experienced at some time in our lives, you are not alone! In fact 30% of the general population report experiencing bloating (1).

instant bloating relief

What actually is bloating?

Bloating happens when there is a build-up of gas in our intestine. This causes a swelling of our tummy and can coincide with pain and discomfort. 

The gas which causes bloating is produced as part of normal digestion and we normally ‘pass gas’ to get rid of it. But bloating can occur when there is too much gas being produced or when the gas can not escape.

Higher amounts of gas are produced with certain foods or larger portion sizes. Again, this is normal. But in digestive health conditions like IBS, you can often be bloated for no apparent reason.

Bloating in IBS

IBS bloating is slightly different to the bloating experienced by the general population. It happens more often and can be quite painful (2).

You may also have increased sensitivity to feeling as though you are bloated, even if it is just normal digestion going on (3). 

5 reasons why you are experiencing bloating when you have IBS

1. Constipation – relieving this could provide instant bloating relief

Do you feel that your bloating improves when you open your bowels? You may even feel a lot lighter afterwards?! This is no coincidence, when you open your bowels you also release a lot of built up gas.

And, if your bowels are not opening regularly you will produce more gas. This is because the food has longer to ferment as it sits in your large bowel.

If you feel you are experiencing this, why not read more here on constipation and what you can do about it. By seeking treatment for your constipation, you may experience less bloating. 

2. Inactivity – this is an area which could help with instant bloating relief

Regular exercise or movement is important for gut health in general. Physical movement can encourage the release of some of the gas which is causing the pesky bloating.

Simple activities like yoga or walking could make a real difference.

3. Changes in gut bacteria

You may have heard that probiotics are good for gut health, but what about bloating? You may have tried a probiotic before and noticed that your bloating seems to have gotten worse. Or perhaps you noticed that your bloating is worse after a course of antibiotics?

This is because it is our gut bacteria which produces the gas that causes the bloating. Having the correct balance of ‘good bacteria’ is critical to help manage bloating.

Read this blog to find out more about probiotics and which one can help you. 

4. High FODMAP diet

Do you get upset that despite eating a healthy diet, you still get uncomfortable and painful bloating? It may be that your diet contains high amounts of FODMAPs.

A diet high in FODMAPs will lead to IBS bloating. This is because FODMAPs are broken down by gut bacteria in a process known as fermentation. Resulting in lots of gas build up and therefore IBS bloating.

To identify which FODMAPs are causing your bloating you need to do the low FODMAP process. You can read more about this process in our other article here. In this, you reduce FODMAPs for 4 weeks, before doing a structured reintroduction to pin-point the cause of your symptoms.

5. Food intolerance

Did you know that food intolerances are linked to IBS? (4). A food intolerance occurs when you are unable to digest a certain food, leading to a collection of symptoms, including bloating.

Having a food intolerance can be confusing and frustrating to figure out. Often, you may tolerate a small amount of the food but not much more. This makes it difficult to diagnose on your own.

The low FODMAP diet process does diagnose food intolerances and also finds out what your tolerance level is. This means that you are still able to enjoy a ‘safe amount’ of the food without IBS bloating.

Eventually, you can get to the point that you will be able to eat so many foods without symptoms. Just as long as they worked within your own tolerance level!

6. SIBO

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth can cause symptoms of bloating. This is a condition which is often mis-diagnosed as IBS.

You can read more about SIBO here.

Instant bloating relief

Now that we have gone through some possible causes for bloating when you have IBS, let’s talk about some ways that we can reduce the bloating. 

Sadly, there is no guaranteed way of instantly reducing your bloating. However, here are some ideas for you to try that could help manage the situation;

  • Go to the bathroom – relieving some gas or passing stools can help relieve some gas from our gut
  • Wear loose rather than tight and fitted clothing – wearing tight clothing can aggravate your abdomen due to adding to the pressure
  • Going for a gentle stroll after eating or doing some exercise – some form of movement can help our bowel to operate normally 
  • Come the low FODMAP process to pin-point your food intolerances.

Will fasting stop bloating? 

Fasting is a form of eating pattern whereby food is not consumed for a prolonged period of time. Have you ever heard that fasting could help your bloating? 

Think again. People may think that fasting will help to reduce their bloating by giving their digestive system a break. In reality, this is not the case. To get further information on fasting and bloating, you can read here to find out more. 

5 proven ways to help bloating

1.Taking probiotics

As we have already touched on, probiotics can be great for our gut and this includes reducing bloating (5, 6). To find out more about probiotics and which one could help you, read here to find out more. 

2. Moderate physical exercise – can provide instant bloating relief

This may be the last thing you want to do when you are bloated, however, physical activity can really help. You’ll be glad to know that even as little as a gentle walk can help release some gas from our gut. Physical activity can even distract us from feeling bloated. 

Find out here why mixing up your routine to include exercise could help to reduce your bloating. 

3.Review your fibre intake

The evidence for fibre being the culprit behind the bloat is mixed (7, 8) . 

The daily recommended amount of fibre for general health is 30g (9). But this does not take into account people who have IBS. It may be a good idea to try out different intakes of fibre per day and determine which helps to manage your bloating the best. 

4.Reduce your sodium (salt) intake

Sodium is found in salty foods such as cured and smoked meats, canned foods and sauces. A link between a high sodium diet and bloating is suggested by the research. The link between sodium intake and bloating is due to the water retention that it causes and reduced gut motility (9).

5. Consider meal timing

If you do exercise, be sure to leave a long enough gap of time between your meal and workout. If not, it can risk the blood needing to be diverted away from your gut and much needed digestion. 

You should also consider your meal patterns and portion sizes. Research suggests that smaller and more frequent meals can aid in reducing bloating (10).

Is there any homeopathic medicine for instant bloating relief?

Ever heard about activated charcoal? Although this is widely prescribed today for bloating it has limited evidence behind it.

There is also some concern that charcoal may absorb micronutrients and prevent us from absorbing them. You can read our full review here.

Can Peppermint Oil Give Instant Bloating Relief?

Peppermint oil has shown to have a case by case effect on individuals’ bloating severity.

If you are prone to acid reflux or heartburn, you may need to warrant caution when taking this supplement.  Read more here to see if peppermint oil is safe for reducing bloating and IBS.

How do I tone a bloated stomach

Bloating does change the way our abdomen looks, and it can really affect our confidence and the way we feel.

Unfortunately, a toned stomach will not prevent bloating from happening. This is due to the nature of increased gas and distension in the intestine that causes the swelling. 

If you’re regularly completing high intensity exercise, it is important to note that high intensity exercise is linked to increased bloating! 

Summary – instant bloating relief

Bloating can happen to anyone for different reasons and it is important to note that each individual will have different ways of reducing their bloating. Usually, making some small changes can provide a solution.

Finding out the root cause as to why you’re bloated in the first place would be the best advice to get you on your way to feeling better.

CAN YOU RELATE? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
😭 I think this post emphasises the point that NOT EVERY DISABILITY IS VISIBLE. As IBS sufferers we often hide our pain in silence day in day out, hoping nobody notices or asks questions. When people ask how we’re doing, we do the polite thing and reply with “I’m fine”. Leaving the burden of IBS to be dealt with alone…​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
🤔 But what about instead of struggling alone in silence, you embody the Take Control Method whereby you prioritise emotional support. Open up to a friend, a colleague or a loved one - problem shared is a problem halved. ❤️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

☹️This starter pack is the daily reality for IBS sufferers 😔. Living with IBS can cause anxiety, and this anxiety then leads to worsening of symptoms, leading to you developing what some would see as ridiculous coping mechanisms like only wearing baggy clothing and always carrying a spare pair of underwear wherever we go…​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
🤩But what if it doesn’t have to be this way. What if you didn’t have to feel that looming anxiety Every. Single. Day. The Take Control Method can take you through making small sustainable changes so you can ditch the extra pair of underwear.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🤔WHICH OF THESE TRUTHS SURPRISE YOU? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
😠There is a lot of misinformation out there on gut health/IBS and it drives me mad. And it’s this type of misleading information that can leave individuals worth off with their IBS than where they originally started. 😔 ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
😍Instead of wasting your time and money on supplements, fad diets and intolerance tests (the list goes on) why not focus on the core foundations of IBS management - diet, movement, sleep and mental health. In the Take Control Method we make small changes in each of these areas which leads to life-changing differences.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🤔 DO YOU HAVE AN ACTUAL DIAGNOSIS OF IBS? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🙁A lot of people assume that they have IBS when their digestive system isn’t working the way that it usually should be. You may think this is a fair assumption, but your symptoms may actually be red flags for other conditions such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). This is not good as a misdiagnosis leads to inappropriate treatment.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
❤️ In the Take Control Programme we always ensure that IBS has been officially diagnosed prior to starting your management journey. Look up ‘How to Get an Official IBS Diagnosis’ on my website if you’re unsure where to start.​​​​​​​​

📺 Last weekend I was on UK TV being interviewed 📺 Last weekend I was on UK TV being interviewed by the legendary @therealtrishagoddard all about the recent salmonella outbreak.

⏩ Overview of what we discussed.
👉 Salmonella is a bacteria which can live in the intestines of animals (including us humans).
👉 It is passed on via infected faeces contaminating your food.
👉 Good hand hygiene and safe food storage and prep is vital to prevent this.
👉 Do NOT wash raw chicken as this can lead to contamination of your kitchen with salmonella
👉 Symptoms of salmonella can range from none to fatal (rare). But typically people will get a fever, vomitting and diarrhoea for 5-7 days.

⏩ For further concerns over this particular outbreak please do check out the @foodgov website

☹️ IBS is often belittled as a condition that 'isn't that bad'. by friends, by family and even by healthcare professionals. It leaves you feeling frustrated but also second guessing your own pain and struggles... ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
💪I am here to tell you that you have every right to advocate for your own health - if you won't, no one else will. Surrounding yourself with people who understand what you're going through, and defying those who belittle it is key. Social support is a key element of my Take Control Programme.​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​
😞As I’m sure lots of you can relate, IBS has a close link with our mental health, including the link between IBS and depression. Poor mental health can lead to worsening of our symptoms, and our IBS symptoms can lead to worse mental health…it’s a vicious circle 😥. ​​​​​​​​

🤔 Have you ever tried to eat intuitively? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🤝 Myself and @wholistic_health_and_wellness have teamed up to look at how intuitive eating could help you with your IBS. Because there is such a strong relationship between IBS and disordered eating behaviors, it’s important to look at our relationship with food when working to reduce IBS symptoms.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🥰Learning to eat intuitively is a great way to improve your relationship with food, remove guilt and stress from the eating experience, reconnect with hunger and fullness cues, and find the foods that work best with your body!​​​​​​​​

👉I will say it time and time again... IBS is SO individualised and personal. No 2 clients ever look the same. This is why generic IBS advice often does not lead to the results that you are hoping for. Taking a random probiotic, eating more fibre or even trying the low FODMAP diet (without professional help) can leave many IBS sufferers no nearer to symptom relief than they were...​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Do you suffer with any of these other symptoms? CO Do you suffer with any of these other symptoms? COMMENT BELOW.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤦‍♀️Your 'IBS' may actually be a histamine intolerance as some symptoms are similar. Additional symptoms include headaches, itchy skin and sinus problems - symptoms vary though.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤦‍♀️A histamine intolerance is caused by a lack of the enzymes which would normally break histamine down. Leading to an overload of histamine in the body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤦‍♀️Histamines are found naturally occurring in certain foods and how a food is processed can impact the histamine quantity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤦‍♀️This intolerance is diagnosed by symptoms improving whilst avoiding histamines and these symptoms then come back with the reintroduction of histamines (to confirm). Please note though that you should always visit your doctor first to rule out other conditions that can also cause these symptoms.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤔Having a histamine intolerance is not like having an allergy. You will have a certain tolerance level and it is important to work this out in order to avoid an overly restrictive diet. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤩We cover histamine intolerances in my NEW histamine intolerance E-Book!
