How to STOP Bloating Instantly: Fixing the Root Cause

[@violetto2057]

I'm Arab, when we eat veggies or dishes that can cause bloating, we add cumin to the dish to decrease the bloat. Also we drink fennel tea for bloating.

[@helgabruin2261]

Hi Dr I am 71 and when I was a child there was nothing like all this bloating and all kinds of allergies I know what they have been doing to the food and the water that’s why we have to change our diets immediately 💯❤️👍

[@anicesharogers9315]

😅

[@bloochoob]

People did have allergies and intolerance all through history but they just lived with it, life was already hard work for many already. People would have deficiencies in vitamins, like Rickets in kids were caused by lack of vitamin D . War rations would have caused a lack of certain vitamins and minerals too. Poorer people would eat food that was going off, and water that wasn’t too clean, and probably have a bad stomach. Remember nearly everyone had great grandmothers and grandmothers who all had several babies that died, that was common, my granny had 12 kids, 3 died in infancy. Many stories from women in slums were the same, babies kids and teens dying, so some would be caused by unknown gastrointestinal illnesses that would now be easily fixed But yes, chemical rubbish E numbers and additives in food are causing all sorts too. At the same time, a lot of people would have had better immune systems through being exposed to more germs too. On top of that, we are more hygienic than many years ago, and our immune systems are different now.

[@CandidLy1]

Just a note, my daughter who has many intestinal issues and symptoms, they all disappeared when she went to the UK for two weeks and ate regular food. I agree it has a LOT to do with what they do to our food here in the US.

Interesting. Kefir bloats me even more. 😬 I stopped bloating with lemon, g-glutamine, green propolis, probiotic, all on an empty stomach, and Fodmap diet.

[@allhimwithme5115]

@@joyelle7578 I think the milk the kefir is made in makes a big difference. I use raw or A2/A2 and I'm fine. Dr. Berg has a video on when to take probiotics and it's when your stomach acid is diluted by food so the bacteria survives the transit through the stomach. I always drank my kefir to break my fast before I learned the empty stomach environment was the worst possible time! Now I have it for dessert, LOL.

[@joyelle7578]

@@allhimwithme5115 I didn’t say I had kefir on an empty stomach. I got into remission from my IBS using the protocol I mentioned. All on an empty stomach. Including the probiotic. I took it on an empty stomach and then broke my fast. But not the fermented foods. It does not matter the time I take kefir, it always bloats me and Dr Berg has another video explaining it. Bloating has many reasons for happening and depending on the reason pre fermented foods suck as kefir or kombucha are not advised. In my country commercializing raw milk is illegal. We can find however A2/A2 and i do buy it once in a while. But there is no brand that makes kefir from A2/A2 milk. One of the reasons I miss living in the US. The healthy option are infinite compared to my country.

I was literally _thinking about bloating_ when I checked for Dr. Berg's 6 AM EST video because I just learned from Dr. Mindy that a woman can have severe bloating MID-cycle (not PMS) due to a *difficulty breaking down estrogen (known as **_"estrogen metabolism"_** ) and I'm bloated* from that right now. I'm usually about 103 lbs and this morning up to 106 for "no reason." It's frustrating, but at least I know estrogen metabolism is my issue. I just wish I knew whether to eat estrogenic food to solve the problem; some research says AVOID, other research says EAT. It's all my favorite stuff, though, so I'm going with EAT and seeing how it goes, LOL.

The result is not going to happen fast just like your problem didn’t occur fast. The main problem is after a year or two we get to feeling better and looking much better and then fall off the plan.

Hi Dr. Eric Berg DC. I been watching your Videos here. I am 62 years old so I was trying to eat healthier and because of that I wasn't eating carbohydrates mainly bread and while I found out that I don't lose any hair anymore I think it was the gluten in the bread. Don't eat any corn things anymore. Or processed food things that have a lot of different ingredients in them that you don't even know what they are. So that change the way I ate. I noticed my pants start to get loose on me I never hardly weigh myself so I finally weighed myself and I couldn't believe it I was 167 lb and I went down to 150 in about 3 months. So it's just eating better wow I never lost weight in my life but now I have mainly for meeting different better food. Stop eating bread because it's carbohydrates that convert into sugar and because they say it can cause cancer Maybe with the Acrylamide they put in bread that had a lot of countries ban and California puts a warning on it. But I think the one word you could use is just "sugar" too much sugar that's our energy people eat too much of it and they don't use all that energy kind of proves it when you breathe you exercise and you have to breathe harder almost any chemical reaction that makes energy needs oxygen including us eat too much sugar and it goes to fat and then you can use the fat as energy. Fiber will slow down the sugar I guess that's why fruits and vegetables have it. One more thing cuz I was eating different my leg had a sore on it for about a whole month it wouldn't heal up I never had that before I would eat a Orange one a day but I guess that wasn't enough vitamin C I started eating sauerkraut then my leg started to heal up I guess it has more vitamin C than a Orange.

I think most concern would be if you're overloading on potassium which could be dangerous, but as long as your kidneys function well I understand you should be peeing out any excess.

Thanks for words on helping reduce Over Eating and Under Nourished

No problem. Glad to help you all.

A few years ago I stopped eating 3 meals a day and started eating when I was hungry, also started eating more meat. I'm less tired now and thinner. turns out everything I was taught in school about diet was the opposite of what was true.

Hi Dr Berg. Is there any way to help bloating from discontinued psych meds? Why does it even happen?

[@Jade-rp3ms]

I'm going on two and a half years of intermittent fasting and it has done wonders for my eating habits but it's also during this period that i've experienced bloating for the very first time. It's happened so frequently, that it has started to cause me a permanent lack of appetite. I still enjoy food but after experiencing one of these bouts of bloating, i'll not eat any real food but like salads and liquids for days. I have once spent two weeks without eating solid foods because i was too afraid to trigger the bloating and the appetite was just simply non existent. What could be causing that if intermittent fasting is supposed to be a solution?

May I ask if the probiotic powder contains anhydrous glucose, whole milk powder, stachyose, fructo-oligosaccharide, and galacto-oligosaccharide, can it still be eaten?😮

[@TheSonicdruid72]

Thank you so much mate! I knew it was my foods but I also thought I’d was because I didn’t have a thyroid anymore. What has just computed in my brain is that after I had my thyroid out I almost immediately started craving Carbs and Sugars! Like really badly. I will be implementing this immediately (as best I can 😉) but thank you once again. I really appreciate everything you do. I wish I wasn’t on the other side of the world or I’d try book in to see you. Cheers 🇦🇺

Hello. Please see my videos below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZmnanZubs2lp80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXPNqHWsrp2ggtU

[@reTUNE8]

Thanks for the video and all the other videos, Dr. Berg. I am at lost. I've been bloated for over ten years now. I would really like to figure out exactly what's going on. I always thought I had SIBO. But maybe not, At the beginning of the year, i started the carnivore diet. I thought that's probably the best elimination and easiest diet i can try. I lost 30 lbs within a month, which wasn't something i was aiming for. But okay, unfortunately, it didn't get rid of the bloating. I do a 16-hour fast and eat in an 8-hour window. 7 months now. My ab is still tight and bloated. I get bloated just by drinking water without any food. I don't get it. I don't think I have ascites. Because my belly will flatten if I laid down. It just feels like my small intestines are inflamed all the time, so it protrude, perhaps? Or is it gas? But what can cause the gas? I am on a meat diet, nothing else. What can cause this chronic bloating? I am 6'1 150lbs. It's really not much body fat. I really don't want to ask the doctors. I'd lost faith from them, well actually i dont think i had much to begin with. From my own GP to doctors that I previously had gone to. All they want is push pills. And based on most people I read in forums, it's pretty much the same. It's really hard these days to find a medical professional who will think cause and diet first than think which medication will treat the symptoms first. I don't blame them. I blame the established medical system. I'll keep looking and try different ideas, I tried quite a bit of supplements. Perhaps I still haven't found the right one or the right diet. Thank you for all you do and your channel. You're doing what every doctor should do. Try to increase the number of people you can help, educate, and bring cures, not increase the maximum appointment you can fill per day.

Go for a blood, stool, urine test. It could be parasites if your body is even reacting to water.

I feel like overeating is causing bloating. Either eating a little bit all day long and or overeating at a meal. Also Acid reflux seems to come into play for me especially if I eat after 7 or 8 p.m.

[@seattlesix]

Sounds like a definite candidate for apple cider vinegar and water 2 hours for eating. I was doing this once in he morning and evening now just in the AM since adapting for OMAD

Thank you so much for explaining about bloating. I struggle with ibs as well. I enjoy all foods however sometimes I can be in agony afterwards. I would love to know more about food and mood. Do you have a video for this?

Here's a video that may help! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqLFg5-BnquMnsU

[@therealnancycarol]

I see a lot of people commenting on, "What can I eat?" This is half the problem. Most of the food in the grocery stores is located in the center aisles. Shop the walls! Buy mostly green vegetables, meats, eggs and go home. For lots of people this will help many of your ailments. Foods in the center of the store are filled with sugar and chemicals that are bad for us. A lot of our illnesses are a result of eating things found in the center aisles. If you follow Dr. Berg then you know this already. It may not be the easiest thing you've ever done, but if you try it without cheating for a few weeks, you will be amazed at how much better you feel. Good luck to you all and best wishes! 💕💕💕

Hello Dr. Berg. I don't know how to thank how to pay your dept 😊. I had an edema in my left foot ankle. 3 different doctors diagnosed lenfoedema last 7 years! I already started thinking to cut the foot with a saw. It really started to ruin my psychology... Then I met one of your videos for edema and now I already lost 8 kg with Keto and IF trying to do both at the same time. Wrist still have the oedema but at least now I can see my calf! My feet fingers are not aching any more due to pressure of oedema. 7 years Mr. Berg, how can I pay you, how can I thank you, I really appreciate. God, science or what do you believe bless you sir hats off.

[@sebastianhoppe2118]

My question is. My dad has a very bad diet. Like fried stuff, minimum vegetables, lots of over processed meat, sugars etc. I eat - vegetables, drink herbal teas, good lean meats, no added sugar, not too much fruit, overall low carb diet. When he eats something that I eat, he gets bloated and he doesn’t feel good. So is bloating a good indicator of anything really ? If someone gets bloated from eating “the right things” and doesn’t get bloated from fried stuff and ice cream.

[@christophercoughlin9493]

There's nothing left to eat!

[@Wendy-tc5wx]

Hi Dr.Berg. I bought your bile salts and ended up violently throwing up and diarrhea. Im assuming this was the cause as nothing else changed?

[@therese3960]

[@terrib4690]

Can you tell us what we CAN eat? That short list would be easiest to remember!

[@europeanguy8773]

I've only ever been bloated once in 33 years so far and that was the first time I had quinoa pasta and ate it super fast. I'm not sure why my digestion system is so efficient in processing whatever foods I eat but I think I have an idea why. From the time I was a child my mother always made sure we ate nothing but home cooked meals and all our meals were always eaten on the clock because of the schedule. Morning time, around 12:30pm and the last meal around no later than 6pm and we never snacked in between. Not only that but she'd always cook with whatever was in season. That meant fresh veggies from late spring throughout the fall and winter time was more meat and only preserved canned veggies. We never had processed/fast foods as kids because they weren't available at the time in Eastern Europe. The first time I had McDonalds was way into late into my teens. Don't get me wrong I'm human I like to indulge with a big mac but that's like once every four month or so when I crave it. So I think people need sit down at the table, enjoy a plate of good food and have a relation with it not just eat on the go. Theres solid research that shows that sitting while eating aids in digesting food more effectively.

For the most part I’ve noticed a theme in dr Bergs videos, quit all processed foods and processed sugars permanently. Dramatically reduce or eliminate all carbs. Couple this with intermittent fasting and that’s all you need.
