I’m going to show you how to get rid of

bloating in your stomach very very fast

I’ve had bloating for many many years

and I didn’t know what it was at the

time so I have firsthand experience on

bloating and not to mention I’ve worked

with tens of thousands of people over 35

years and many of these people had

bloating as a primary concern so I’m

going to show you exactly how to get rid

of your bloating and I’m going to make

it really simple there are things that

are really really important and there

are things that are very trivial and not

very important and those are usually on

like Wikipedia on the first few pages of

Google when you do searches on bloating

really it’s just the same information

recycled over and over and over

medically they’ll examine you they

diagnose you and then they treat you

with usually an over-the-counter

medication or some prescription

medication which is crazy because

anything going on with your digestive

system you must first look at the foods

that you’re eating it’s the foods okay

so here’s a really simple thing you

should start out with when did the

bloating start what did I eat just

before that that will give you a big

clue and one of the problems that people

run into is that a lot of times they

don’t just eat one thing they have a

combination of things it makes it a lot

more difficult so as you start to figure

out what’s really behind this bloating I

think it’s going to be very important to

eat uh lesser amounts of foods just like

maybe three different foods so you can

at least start isolating what’s really

doing the most bloating versus this huge

long complex recipe also the more

frequent you eat the more bloating

problems you’re gonna have our digestive

system is very long and many people keep

that huge tube completely filled all the

time with the snacks and three meals

Etc that’s really hard on the system and

they never have a chance to fully digest

their food if you can Implement

intermittent fasting that alone will

greatly help you and and when we talk

about bloating we’re talking about gas

usually and the gas is produced by

microbes

fermenting certain things like bread

that rises through the help of yeast

which is a microbe or you have beer or

champagne that has those bubbles okay

that’s gas that’s produced from microbes

so the microbes in your gut ferment

certain things that create gas and

usually the bloating is coming from some

type of problem with this interaction

between the microbe and their food and

the gas the primary source of food is

carbohydrates what is a carbohydrate

It’s a combination of three things

sugars

starches

or fibers so what I want to emphasize in

fixing this bloating is it’s way more

important

to avoid something than it is to add

something like a remedy like a different

food so let’s dive into like the most

common foods you’re going to have to

avoid and this is basically the low

hanging fruit and when I talk about

fruit I’m actually talking about fruit

is the number one thing that’s probably

bloating you because in Fruit you have

the sugar you have the starch and you

have fiber so I’m sorry to tell you that

but

fruit is probably at the top of the list

and of course beans would be number two

and then we get grains as in the bread

pasta cereal crackers biscuits waffles

pancakes muffins

Etc and of course all the refined sugars

too like the table sugar the honey the

high fructose corn syrup and the sugar

alcohols that are in a lot of Keto

snacks boy they can really bloat you

sorbitol

Mannitol maltitol and even Xylitol and

erythritol because you really just want

to start reading ingredients so even now

they might be keto friendly they’re not

bloating friendly or bloat friendly then

we get another type of carbohydrate like

starches that would be like rice potato

wheat corn fries and then you also have

these um

manufactured carbohydrates as in

maltodextrin or dextrin be careful those

those can really

um blow you big time and this is why

it’s so important to read the

ingredients

there’s also some other things that

you’ll see in the common ingredients as

well are functional fibers these are

so-called healthy fibers that they’re

creating if you like inulin some people

are not sensitive to it but some people

are guar gum xantham gum even like when

you eat oatmeal or oats you have this

thing that’s considered heart healthy

beta-glucan that’s a fiber so all of

these things are like those hidden

factors that can bloat you in a lot of

different foods that you eat and then we

get to the topic of

prebiotics right they put these

Prebiotic type fibers in a lot of

supplements and Shakes and superfoods

super green products

plant-based protein powders different

seeds agave nectar so prebiotics are

good for some people but other people

they’re not very good and they can bloat

you and what I’m trying to do is I’m

trying to list the most common reasons

why people bloat so you can start

eliminating those and seeing if that’s

your problem all right so that’s number

one okay

number two this includes actual

allergies and sensitivities and

something else called intolerance

so you could have gluten intolerance

which is very very common

one thing about gluten It’s A protein

that we cannot digest so it creates a

lot of problems in our guts and some

people that don’t have a problem

actually do have a problem because many

times these proteins also stimulate an

opioid receptor it’s kind of like

getting a little dosage of morphines and

that can numb any symptoms you have in

the gastrointestinal area thinking oh

I’m fine I can I can digest these fine

but you have all these other Associated

problems I have a very interesting video

on that but if you avoid just all the

grains you don’t worry about gluten

because gluten is really only in grains

then you have lactose this is milk sugar

this is in Dairy if you’re doing Dairy

that could be another reason and then

you have the protein in Dairy called

casein you can have an algae with that

as well and that can create bloating

also nuts if that can bloat you and of

course if you turn the nut into some

type of nut butter and you eat a lot of

it boy that can blow you as well number

three are actual vegetables now

vegetables are low in sugar they’re low

in starch usually some aren’t but I’m

talking about the leafy greens but

they’re very high in fiber and if you

have

IBS irritable bowel syndrome or you have

small intestinal bacterial overgrowth

sibo

that means the microbes that should be

in the large intestine are in the wrong

place they’re in the small intestine so

as soon as you start eating fiber

anything with fiber or like a Prebiotic

or even a probiotic Boy by the time it

hits your small intestine you bloat it’s

a common problem uh the solution for

that I will put the link down below but

um the way that you identify that is

that you just blow it with all

vegetables and the remedy for that is

HCl hydrochloric acid and you can get

that in a supplement called betaine

hydrochloride but you’re gonna have to

avoid vegetables for a while and go on

the carnivore diet but typically most

people are okay with vegetables and

they’re going to be more okay with more

lettuce type of vegetables versus other

things for example broccoli I cannot

consume broccoli or I will bloat like a

balloon other people can do broccoli but

they can’t do cabbage I can do cabbage

and I have no problem with that cabbage

has certain things in it that are

usually good for people with IBS or

irritable bowel syndrome in fact it’s

probably one of the only vegetables that

they can eat that can help them

especially if they have a gastritis so

you want to play around with your

vegetable consumption and just take a

look at what happened right before you

started bloating was it a point where

you just ate a lot of vegetables or you

ate something else you just want to

isolate what it is number four stress

chronic stress especially stress

inhibits the parasympathetic nervous

system which is called the rest and

digest it’s the the system that helps

you sleep it’s the system that helps you

digest so the more stress you have the

less digestion you’re going to have

and this is probably why some of the

recommendations out there with long

walks are really good with bloating it

doesn’t really correct the problem

because you have to fix whatever’s

stressing you out anything that reduces

stress can help your digestion and also

this is why vitamin B1 is really good

for people that have bloating with

stress I think the best way to describe

that scenario is let’s say you wake up

and your stomach is flat but at the end

of the day it’s bloated suspect more

stress than anything but it could be

food as well but in that case just take

more B1 and do whatever you can to

reduce stress number five constipation

can also cause bloating because your

your pipes are backed up you have a

plumbing problem and doing intermittent

fasting eating the right foods can

greatly help just taking a probiotic but

I think it’s way more important to fix

the constipation than to worry about

some laxative and I’m talking about an

herbal laxative you can take Smooth Move

tea slippery elm bark is a real mild

form there’s stronger versions of herbs

that you can take but it’s very very

important never to have constipation

because that can really create issues

purified bile salts are a good way to

help lubricate the colon and bile salts

are interesting because your microbes

May make them and also bile salts

prevent sibo they help you break down

fats and the way that you know that

you’re deficient in bile salts is not

only do you get bloating and

constipation but your stool will float

and it might even be lighter colored

okay so that just means that you’re you

have more fat in the stool because you

don’t have enough bile so you might want

to take bile salts after the meal

because they’re alkaline if you take

them before the meal that can interrupt

with the acid in the stomach and also

the way that you know you took too much

bile salts is if you get diarrhea so you

want to just kind of figure out how much

you need menstrual cramps is another

reason why people bloat and if you think

about what a menstrual cramp is it’s a

cramp okay and so what do you do for

cramps you take calcium magnesium so

just take some of that and that should

greatly help those cramps now I have
