Bloating
Bloating can not only be uncomfortable, but most importantly it can be a symptom of an underlying condition contributing to your weight gain.
Does your stomach feel full & tight? Bloating is uncomfortable & something you can definitely do without! It is a feeling of fullness in the abdomen & is often associated with hormonal disturbances & can be caused by either intestinal gas or fluid retention.
Symptoms of bloating

Intestinal Gas - is the most common reason for Bloating. Swallowing air, poor digestion, irritable bowel disease (IBS), food allergies, lactose intolerance and constipation are common reasons why the body produces excessive amounts of intestinal gas. Bloating can be related to eating habits and diet. You may even find that your stomach is flat on awakening but distends progressively throughout the day. For others the bloating can occur within minutes and can be aggravated by eating.
Fluid Retention - can also be responsible for Bloating in women. Irregular ovarian function that occurs during menopause and fluctuating oestrogen levels that occur in premenstrual and menopausal women may cause abdominal fluid retention and Bloating.
Bloating can be caused by a number of hormonal imbalances:
- Hypothyroidism
- Hyperthyroidism
- Poly Cystic Ovarian Disorder
- Menopause
- Fibroids
- Cysts
- Endometriosis
- Adrenal Imbalance
