Instant bloating anyone ? Do you ever bloat immediately on the first bite of food … I mean Instantly… not even after digestion really begins ! Bloating is a feeling of tightness, pressure, or swelling in the abdomen caused by excess gas or food not digesting properly. It often leads to discomfort, distension, and a full sensation.
★ What Causes Instant Bloating Just When You Start Eating ?
If bloating occurs immediately after eating, it usually points to two main issues:
1. Low Stomach Acid – Hypochlorhydria
Is a state where the stomach isn’t acidic enough to properly break down food. This leads to fermentation instead of digestion. The fermentation the creates gas, causing instant bloating right away.
2. Bacterial & Fungal Overgrowth
An overgrowth of bacteria or fungi in the small intestine, that is SIBO or SIFO, reacts quickly to incoming food, especially fermentable carbohydrates, producing immediate, excess gas and, distension!
★ What Makes Immediate Bloating on The First Bite Worse ?
- Eating quickly and not chewing food thoroughly and mindfully.
- Drinking too much liquid with meals, which dilutes stomach acid.
- Chronic stress, which also lowers stomach acid production.
- Consuming fermentable carbs such as sugars, fiber, starches that feed bad bacteria in the gut leading to increased bacterial overgrowth and gut inflammation.
★ How do you Fix Instant Bloating to Enjoy Your Meal ?
1. Boost Digestion
- Take HCI Hydrochloric Acid + Digestive Enzymes before meals, to improve stomach acid and enzyme function.
- Add Bitters or Apple Cider Vinegar before meals, to naturally stimulate acid production.
2. Reduce Bacterial Load
- Take Triple Threat (Garlic, Oregano and Clove) are antimicrobial herbs help kill off excess bacteria and fungi, that contribute to both fermentation and bloating.
3. Improve Eating Habits
- Chew Food Thoroughly to reduce the workload on the digestive system.
- Also, eat in a relaxed state to encourage proper digestive enzyme secretion.
It’s that simple! You can significantly reduce and eventually eliminate bloating from the first bite … By eating in a relaxed peaceful serene state while improving stomach acid levels, supporting digestion, and reducing bacterial overgrowth!
