Bloating is not just physical!

It affects our bodies, minds, and emotions, leaving us feeling like we’re battling an invisible enemy every day. 

The constant rumbling of the stomach and gassiness can make for some very embarrassing situations. But they’re not that bad in comparison to the discomfort and even pain that comes with a swollen belly. It’s like having a balloon inside your belly that won’t deflate, and it can make simple tasks like walking or sitting feel like a struggle. 

The once comfy clothes suddenly feel like they’re two sizes too small, and nothing fits right around the waist anymore. It’s frustrating! A bloated stomach is hard to look at in the mirror, and your self-esteem quickly plummets if you’re dealing with the issue every day. 

But you don’t have to start cancelling parties and avoiding dinners with friends. There is a way to debloat that balloon belly and regain confidence. 

5 ways to rebalance the gut and get rid of bloating

The most common cause of bloating is something most people ignore. The imbalance of bacteria in the gut microbiome.  

This imbalance, or dysbiosis, can happen due to various factors that disrupt the natural harmony of the microbiome. But the good news is that there are ways to rebalance the gut to achieve a flat stomach and a light feeling. 

1. Mindful eating

This includes establishing regular eating patterns, eating smaller portions, and chewing the food well. Consistent mealtimes help regulate the gut’s daily rhythm and support the growth of beneficial bacteria. 

With smaller portions, the gut digests the food much easier, but it doesn’t also hurt to chew each meal well to avoid undigested pieces that may ferment in the gut and cause even more excess gas. 

2. No cold drinks 

When dealing with an imbalanced gut microbiome, it’s best to avoid consuming cold drinks. These can actually exacerbate digestive issues as they put a lot of strain on the gut. 

Cold drinks further disturb the already delicate environment of the gut, potentially affecting the growth and survival of good gut bacteria. 

3. Regular exercise 

Engaging in regular physical activity can have a positive effect on gut health, as the microbiomes of active people tend to be more diverse than those of people with sedentary lifestyles. 

Plus, exercise works wonders for alleviating stress, another culprit behind gut imbalance. 

4. High-fibre diet 

Nutrition plays a vital role in addressing gut imbalance and promoting a healthy gut microbiome. The aim is to eat a diverse diet with whole foods high in fibre, like fruit and vegetables. While the body can’t digest fibre, the beneficial bacteria can. In fact, there’s a special type of fibre called prebiotics that the bacteria break down for their own food.  

By eating a more high-fibre diet, it’s much easier to support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and improve digestion. 

5. Use of probiotic supplements 

The solutions above are sadly not enough to rebalance a disrupted microbiome. And that’s where probiotic supplements come into play. 

Probiotic supplements introduce live beneficial bacteria to repopulate the gut and reestablish bacterial balance. The goal is basically to outnumber the bad bacteria, and probiotics do that efficiently! 

With their ability to directly address the root cause of an imbalanced gut microbiome, they restore harmony in the intestinal tract. As the balance is restored, digestion is improved, and less gas is produced, resulting in a comfortable and flat belly. 

But don’t just take our word for it. Read how Anna overcame bloating and regained control of her life. 

Anna was too embarrassed to leave her flat

I remember being so carefree with my health in my early twenties. But then, out of nowhere, I started to feel bloated in the evenings. I felt a bit of discomfort around my tummy, but it was nothing drastic. 

Slowly, it progressed into an everyday struggle. I had to wear trousers with an elasticated waist because I couldn’t zip up my jeans. I didn’t feel attractive at all, plus I was so tired all the time. 

I remember the first time it really messed up with my life. I was supposed to go out to dinner with friends. I put on my favourite dress, one that used to hug my hips perfectly. But then and there, all I saw was a massive, bloated stomach sticking out.  

I felt so embarrassed to go out like that that I changed into leggings and a baggy shirt, frustrated that I didn’t feel as confident as usual. After dinner, my tummy kept growing, and I was in so much pain -the evening was a complete bust! 

Soon enough, I felt so embarrassed about how I looked that I preferred to cancel on my friends than feel uncomfortable and gassy the whole night. 

Anna: “After doing this, the bloating was gone in a few weeks.” 

As nothing seemed to really trigger the bloating, I figured there was something wrong in the gut. After reading about it, I fixed my diet, drank kefir every day, ate sauerkraut, and bought 3 different probiotic supplements, but nothing made me feel better. 

Feeling frustrated, I finally confided in my friend about my issues. I was shocked to hear she had the same problems! 

She shared her own experience with bloating and even suggested a solution! Synbiotic Premium. When she started talking about it, I thought, okay, another probiotic that won’t help me…  

But then she explained how tricky it actually is to find a product with the right kind of probiotics and how the bacteria rarely survive the digestive tract. No wonder I didn’t see any difference! 

I was curious to know how Synbiotic Premium was different from other similar products, and my friend said it’s loaded with well-researched strains that are completely stable. She was so excited when she was talking about the protective technology behind it that I had to give this product a try, even though I didn’t really understand it at the time. 

After taking it for a few weeks, I was amazed! I no longer felt the horrible discomfort, and the gassiness was gone. Even when I looked in the mirror at the end of the day, I had no issues and all my dresses fit. I only wish I found this solution sooner!
