Bloating

What is Bloating?

Bloating is a feeling of fullness or tightness in the abdominal area, which is often accompanied by abdominal pain. The belly may even look swollen or protrude outward.

Who Feels Bloated?

Bloating can be experienced by anyone – after they eat a particular meal, or perhaps when they haven’t been as regular.

Bloating is often a symptom experienced by people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS¹.) In fact, around 70% of people with IBS consider bloating an important factor that contributes to the severity of their IBS². It is often more common in people with IBS-C and IBS-M^4,5. Women are also more likely to complain of bloating than men⁵.
