Possible Causes of Bloating

Overgrowth of Small Intestinal Bacteria
Overgrowth of small intestinal bacteria, is a condition where you have too many bacteria in the wrong places. Your body is home to a lot of good bacteria. Most of the good bacteria in your gut should be in the large intestine, not the small intestine. When you have too many bacteria in your small intestine, you experience a lot of gas. This happens because those good bacteria are not meant to live in that environment.
Low Stomach Acid
Low stomach acid can cause abdominal gas, bloating, constipation, and pain in the abdomen. You can get abdominal gas and bloating if you don't have enough stomach acid to digest the food that you eat.
Not enough Bile
Bile is one of the most important fluids in our body. Bile is produced by the liver and is stored in the gallbladder. If you don't have enough bile, it can create problems like abdominal gas and bloating.
Food Intolerances
Some people feel bloated after eating certain foods. People who have lactose intolerance, gluten allergy or celiac disease may experience bloating. Avoiding the problem food may make bloating go away.

Tips to Reduce Bloating

Avoid foods that cause gas, such as vegetables from the cabbage family, dry beans, and pulses.
Do not eat chewing gum. Chewing gum can cause swallowing of excess air, which in turn can lead to bloating.
Reduce the intake of carbonated drinks.
Eat slowly and don't drink through a straw.
If you are lactose intolerant, use lactose free dairy products.
Walking, jogging, swimming or cycling for about 30 minutes a day can help reduce bloating.
