so today we’re gonna talk about how to

get rid of bloating and abdominal

distension

alright the major source of bloating in

your gut is microbial fermentation now

what does that mean fermentation

fermentation is simply the chemical

breakdown of a carbohydrate by a microbe

and the microbes are releasing enzymes

to help break down carbohydrates

specifically fiber but also other

carbohydrates and sugars too but these

microbes have the ability to break down

fiber

whereas our bodies do not have the

ability to do that

so these microbes can break down these

undigestible fibers and turn them into

some interesting things one as it turns

it into a small chain fatty acids so

these microbes are turning fibre into a

type of fat very interesting also lactic

acid also methane ok methane gas and

hydrogen gas which by the way this is

very explosive long time ago they use

mannitol and some type of device to help

certain people with constipation

apparently there’s been situations of

intra-abdominal explosions with somehow

sparking some of these gases and

creating a terrible effect so now they

don’t use the mannitol in that device

anymore thank goodness okay co2 is

another by-product and then nitrogen gas

and by the way these gases right here

have no odor but this one does hydrogen

sulfide and there’s several other gases

too that will produce a very bad odor an

average person actually produces between

200 and 2,000 milliliters of gas every

single day from this process so one of

the enzymes that these microbes make is

called cellulase to break down cellulose

because that’s a fiber so anytime that

says ace that means it’s an enzyme so in

this case an enzyme is something that

actually breaks something down and most

of this process of fermentation happens

in the large bowel but if you have a

condition where the micro

directory in your small intestine it’s

called SIBO small intestinal bacterial

overgrowth then you’re gonna have a big

problem because you’re gonna get

fermentation in the wrong place and that

can create a lot of abdominal distension

so there’s a couple things you need to

do if you have a lot of bloating

first of all adjust your carbohydrates

and when I’m talking about carbohydrates

I’m talking about it adjust or eliminate

like certain things like fruit garlic

onions fruit asparagus milk has lactose

in it and so does yogurt you just need

to avoid these right here and there are

other vegetables as well that you need

to avoid when I put a link down below

for more data on that if you have this

problem but these are a must so I just

would avoid these things right here so

you want to adjust the carbs and adjust

the fiber so maybe you don’t want to

consume the large quantities especially

if you have this happening in your small

intestine okay because it’s gonna

overload the system so you might want to

cut back on the fiber and see where your

body is comfortable but what’s

interesting is these microbes will adapt

to almost any environment so as you

change your diet these microbes will

adapt to that and they’ll grow and

you’ll get a more diversified family of

microbes just to adapt to what you’re

eating so over time you’ll get less gas

and I also forgot to mention beans of

course that’s sort of a given but I do

want to mention that that crates that

can create a lot of gas

next thing is add a good probiotic if

you add more microbes you can get more

help to digest some of this fiber you

have a more complete digestion and you

have less gas now when you consume

things like fennel and ginger and anise

and peppermint these help reduce

abdominal distension and help release

the gas because they relax the colon and

the little sphincters which are valves

so there’s less pressure in your

abdominal area it doesn’t get rid of the

gas by dissolving it it just allows the

gas to pass the next and the last thing

which is very important is to acidify

the stomach

either with apple cider vinegar or a

betaine how to chloride that’ll just

improve the digestion in the stomach

area so then the small intestine doesn’t

have to work so hard as well as the

large intestine alright thanks for
