Definition of Stomach Bloating

Abdominal bloating happens when unexpected gases are produced as a result of incomplete digestion. The action of food toxins leads to bloating - a painful distressing symptom that can happen after almost any meal.

Prevalence of Stomach Bloating

While there are no hard international statistics – we can be informed by careful scientific studies. A recent study survey published in June 2008* found:

• 67% of American adults suffered stomach bloating

In addition we know bloating interrupts daily activities - with missed work or school - and reduced productivity. Most sufferers do consult a doctor - with mixed results.

Causes of Stomach Bloating

Stomach bloating causes are almost always foods - specifically those which contain toxins, milk and plant proteins.

Why We Get Stomach Bloating

Blame your parents! A painful bloated stomach is most often the result of your body's immune resposne to various food toxins.

This is genetic . . . it's in your genes! You got it from your parents, grandparents and other ancestors!

That also means - if you have children - you have already passed on the same genetic material to your sons and daughters. Don't you think it's best to find out more about food toxins - so you can share this precious information with other family members (older and younger)?

Treatment for a Bloated Stomach

The treatment is to move to A LOW TOXIN DIET. Then the bloating will die down and never happen again.

• To cure the symptom - remove the cause

The Institute is the foremost authority on the dramatic improvements people experience when they learn how to reduce food toxins in their diet.

Member letter

'I just wanted to thank you for your website and program. I've been mainly suffering from severe stomach cramping and bloating. But also bad moods, liquid retention and more for the past 12 months. It was a sudden onset and I thought it was from drinking too much water.

I went to the Dr.s and they said my body has just changed and that I’m just fatter. I got to stages where I got sent home from work because I was so tired that my eyes wouldn't stay open.

In only 1 week . . . i feel sooooooooooooooooooo much better. I feel like my old self again. just wanted to say a very big thank you.

(Later) Hello! Of course you can use my letter, that's no problems at all. Thanks for asking. Have a safe Xmas & new year!' Emily

What to do next

You can choose to do nothing of course. But untreated stomach bloating usually leads to chronic symptoms (those you will suffer for the rest of your life).

And sometimes they develop into chronic disorders like inflammatory disease. Actually a bloated stomach is a valuable warning sign that you could develop further health issues. It's like a Red Flag - so it's a very useful alarm signal.

In fact - most cases of Irritable Bowel, colitis, Crohn's disease, Celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease start out as abdominal pain and bloating.
