What is Abdominal Bloating?

Abdominal bloating, a prevalent digestive issue, manifests as an enlarged, swollen feeling in the stomach, often accompanied by a sensation of fullness or tightness. This condition, more than just a physical discomfort, can affect your confidence and daily activities.

Identifying the Symptoms of Abdominal Bloating

Recognizing the signs of abdominal bloating is the first step towards finding relief. Common symptoms include:

  • Abdominal swelling or distention, making the stomach appear larger.

  • A persistent feeling of fullness or tightness in the abdomen.

  • Discomfort or pain in the abdominal area.

  • Difficulty breathing or a sensation of shortness of breath.

  • Frequent belching or passing of gas.

  • Changes in bowel habits, ranging from constipation to diarrhea.

Unlocking the Mystery of Abdominal and Stomach Swelling

Though it’s not uncommon to experience swelling persistent bloating may indicate underlying health issues. At Nielsen Homeopathic Clinic, we explore the factors that contribute to stomach bloating in order to offer personalized and effective treatment options.

Major Contributors to Bloating

Heightened Sensitivity to Intestinal Gas: This condition often arises from gut sensitivity, which can amplify bloating and other digestive symptoms. Some individuals may experience contractions in their intestinal muscles when exposed to gas intensifying the feeling of bloating.

Activation of Mucosal Immune Response: This refers to increased activity in the lining of the digestive tract potentially leading to inflammation and changes in the composition of gut microbiota that cause bloating.

Disorders Linked to Inflammation: Functional gastrointestinal diseases such as IBS and IBD can trigger stomach bloating due to inflammation in the gut. This ongoing inflammation often disrupts the balance of bacteria in the gut exacerbating bloating symptoms.

Imbalance in Intestinal Flora (Dysbiosis): An imbalance or disruption in gut microbiota is associated with bloating. Research has indicated that individuals experiencing bloating often have a composition of gut flora with a higher presence of proinflammatory bacteria.

Increased Sensitivity within Visceral System: Heightened sensitivity, within the system can contribute to feelings of bloating.
Research indicates that people who experience abdominal bloating tend to have heightened sensitivity in their guts, which can disrupt the normal digestion of gas and waste.

Influence of Sex Hormones: The presence of sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone) can also play a role in processes and contribute to bloating. These hormones have the potential to slow down the movement of waste and gas through the system and they have also been associated with inflammation, in the intestines.
