Overeating, diet, medications and beverages could all contributing factors to that unattractive bloating
Almost everyone has experienced bloating at one time or the other. Chronic bloating could be so disturbing and painful
Bloating is caused when air enters our digestive system or is created as food is broken down. The air takes up room and makes our digestive organs swell, sometimes causing pain and discomfort not to mention making us look a little bigger-bellied than we would like.
Bloating can be symptoms of a medical problem such as functional bowel disorder or an organic syndrome such as peptic ulcer disease, malabsorption, gastrointestinal obstruction, bacterial overgrowth, or parasitic infestation.’ However the most common cause of bloating is overeating. In this article we are going to consider how over eating causes bloating and remedie.

How overeating causes bloating and Remedy
As well as weight gain, over eating causes bloating. A lot of people keep eating until they fill 100% full. Most of us try to equate the quantity of food we eat with level of hunger we feel, the problem is we might not have enough stomach acid to cover and break down the food in the stomach as fast as it normally could.
Another problem may be that the demand for digestive enzymes cannot be met. Digestive enzymes are the most effective tools made by the body to help digestion. When there is an insufficient quantity of digestive enzymes present in the body to handle the size of the meal we just consumed, some undigested food may pass into the large intestine. Here, in the large intestine, it will be fermented and acted upon by our own inherent bacteria and intestinal flora, producing the gas and bloating we associate with occasional digestive discomfort.
However, the addition of supplemental digestive enzymes can be our support during those times we give in to large meals. When taken with the first bite of our meal, these supplemental digestive enzymes can be our body’s digestive reinforcements and aid the enzymes already present and produced in our body in breaking down and assimilating our food. This added support may aid in the reduction of digestive discomfort brought on by occasional gas and bloating.*
