Is your bloating actually a sign of something deeper?

Jun 19, 2025 | Digestive Health, Genomics, DNA, and Nutrition

We’ve all felt bloated after a big meal or a little indulgence. But if it’s happening daily, especially when you’re eating “healthy”, that’s a red flag your digestion might need support.

Here’s the truth:
Bloating is common, but that doesn’t make it normal.
It’s your body’s way of saying something’s off.

Here are some often-overlooked signs that your digestion may be working against you:

  • You feel bloated after most meals (even the “clean” ones)
  • You crash or feel foggy after eating
  • Your bowel movements are inconsistent, infrequent, or uncomfortable
  • You notice undigested food in your stool
  • Your skin flares up or your mood crashes without explanation

If any of that feels familiar, know this: your body isn’t broken.
It’s trying to talk to you, and bloating is just one of the ways it gets your attention.

What’s causing it?

It could be:

  • Inflammation in the gut lining
  • Imbalanced gut bacteria
  • Poor enzyme function
  • Food absorption issues
  • Blood sugar instability

Most people try to fix it by eliminating more foods or “eating cleaner,” but the answer often lies in personalization, not restriction.

Try these things first:

1 – Swap processed foods with those that contain five or fewer ingredients.

2 – Ditch food additives.

3 – Don’t give up on fiber! Increase fiber gradually. The body adjusts with consistency.
