When it comes to bloating, most people are pretty aware of what the problems are the cause it. Bloating can happen for a couple of dozen different reasons, but a lot of people are already aware of what causes bloating because they have experienced it before. However, there are some cases where you may not be aware of what is causing bloating.<\/p>\n

This can be a particularly scary proposition, because when you experience a medical condition that you have no explanation for, your mind jumps to the very worst solution, even if it isn\u2019t really a solution at all. That\u2019s why we will be going over 10 of the bloated stomach causes that you are probably not aware of. These are known as silent causes because most people do not attribute their bloating to these causes at all. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the less common symptoms.<\/p>\n

1. Salt<\/h3>\n

You might have heard that salt<\/a> causes you to retain water but what you may not have understood is that retaining water means that you can feel bloated. That means that if you consume too much salt, then you are going to experience bloating symptoms. Of course, there are a lot of causes of bloating, and it can be difficult to know whether you are taking in too much salt or not.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why you need to do your research and find out what the maximum recommended amount of salt actually is and what is considered to be dangerous levels. If you are taking in more salt than the recommended levels, then it is likely that you are going to experience symptoms. One of the symptoms could very well be bloating. This is not the most common of causes when it comes to bloating, but it is one that you should rule out early.\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Carbohydrates<\/h3>\n

Some carbs can cause you to experience bloating. There are two things that need to keep in mind when it comes to consuming carbs and their links to bloating. The first is that if you consume too many carbohydrates, you\u2019re going to experience bloating. That is just a simple fact of physiology. Eating too many carbs is going to cause your stomach to expand and you are going to feel fuller than normal.<\/p>\n

In addition, eating too many carbs can cause gases to be present that would normally not be present. But you also need to be aware of FODMAPs. These are particular carbohydrates<\/a> that are digested near the end of your intestines. This is where the bacteria feed on. If you eat too many of these, bloating is a common symptom. Some of these include dairy products, garlic, peaches, wheat pasta, rye bread and more.\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Overeating<\/h3>\n

While it might seem obvious that overeating can cause you to feel bloated<\/a>, which you may not realize is that you might not know that you are overeating until it is too late. This is due to the time that it takes for the notification from your got reaches your brain. Did you know that it can take up to 20 minutes for your stomach to notify the brain that you are full?<\/p>\n

That means that if you eat a bunch of food that fills you up, you might just keep eating because your brain thinks that you are still hungry. If you do happen to keep eating, then not only are you going to gain weight, you may experience bloating symptoms as well. This type of overeating is difficult to overcome because most people do not eat slowly enough for their brain to receive the message that they are full.\"\"<\/p>\n

4. Soda<\/h3>\n

Carbonated soda<\/a> can definitely be one of the causes of bloating. Those bubbles that you love so much and carbonated soda, as well as other drinks like beer and champagne, can all be contributing causes to bloating. This is especially true if you are already sensitive to bloating. The problem is, when you drink soda or seltzer with this carbonation, you feel yourself up with gas.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, you burp and these gases expelled, but more often than not it stays inside your get. That means that your stomach expands to its full capacity and you feel bloated. This is especially true if the gas reaches your intestines. It stays there until you pass it. Another thing to keep in mind is that most sodas are packed with sugar which can cause you to hold more water like salt and even contribute more to you feeling bloated.\"\"<\/p>\n

5. Eating Habits<\/h3>\n

Your eating habits may be to blame if you are feeling bloated. One of the things that we have already discussed is when your brain<\/a> does not get the notification that your belly is full. This is due to people eating too fast. However, it is not the only bad eating habits and causes bloating.<\/p>\n

Eating the wrong kinds of foods can also cause bloating, but the main thing here is that when you eat too fast you do not give your stomach time to let your brain know that you are full. This is actually common in members of the armed services. This is due to a poor policy within the armed services they require men and women to eat their food in a few minutes as possible. This means that they train their brain to continue eating even though they may have consumed enough food to fill them up.<\/p>\n

\"\"6. Constipation<\/h3>\n

Being constipated can definitely contribute to being bloated. Everyone experiences constipation<\/a> from time to time. That means that if you experience bloating from time to time, it could be caused by constipation or other digestive problems. However, if you experience chronic constipation and other gastrointestinal problems \u2013 including bloating \u2013 then you may want to talk to your doctor about a possible solution.<\/p>\n

In the case of constipation that causes bloating, it is usually caused by not drinking enough water. Bloating may also happen when you have sudden changes in your diet. For example, if you go several days eating only a tiny amount of food and then you have a huge meal, not only are you going to experience bloating, but you are also going to experience major diarrhea. In addition, stress can cause bloating. Stress can cause a variety of gastrointestinal problems, but bloating is definitely among them.\"\"<\/p>\n

7. Dairy<\/h3>\n

Consuming too much dairy<\/a> can have negative consequences. When you consume foods like milk or ice cream, these foods can cause gas and that manifests as bloating and belly pain. This is especially true if your body cannot digest these foods easily. This is a condition called lactose intolerance. Some people do not even realize that they are lactose intolerant until they start eating a lot of dairy.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because the dairy that they were eating before was not enough to trigger symptoms. However, once they start eating dairy regularly, there going to notice a problem. If you have lactose intolerance, or you have to bloat because of lactose products, then you want to avoid dairy products as much as possible. There are a few medications out there that can help you digest them better however, so you may want to look into them first.\"\"<\/p>\n

8. Gaining Weight<\/h3>\n

If you have recently gained weight, then this can be a contributing factor to bloating. What you have to understand is that there is a certain amount of space within your stomach<\/a>. When you gain weight, this space may be reduced a little. So when you eat the foods that you normally eat, you\u2019re going to feel more full than usual.<\/p>\n

So, if you have gained 10 pounds or more in the past year, you may feel bloated because the weight goes around your belly and takes up space without leaving room in your stomach for it to stretch. Obviously, for most people, the best plan is not to gain weight it all. If you find yourself gaining weight, then talk to your doctor because he or she may have some solutions that will help you prevent this weight gain.\"\"<\/p>\n

9. Fructose<\/h3>\n

Fructose<\/a> is usually not that harmful to people, but you should be careful about how much you consume. That\u2019s because fructose cannot only be bad for you, but I can also cause bloating. Fructose is a kind of sugar, and it\u2019s a little harder for your body to break down than other kinds of sugar. Fructose is the kind of sugar that is present in fresh fruits. However, the amount of fructose that is available in these fresh fruits is usually not enough to trigger any sort of physiological response.<\/p>\n

If you take fructose or get it in some kind of food, and your body is not used to it, then you may have symptoms like bloating. You may have heard of high fructose corn syrup. This is something that a lot of people love to put on their pancakes. However, the amount of fructose that is put into this food is a dangerous level. If you are consuming high fructose corn syrup or the kind of foods that contain this much fructose, then you are likely going to experience bloating.\"\"<\/p>\n

10. Celiac Disease<\/h3>\n

A condition called celiac disease<\/a> is a common type of bloating. When most people think about bloating, they think about getting gas or for women, they may think about having their monthly period. However, with celiac disease, your body does not react well to products with gluten in them. When you eat gluten, your digestive system reacts badly and your body attacks the lining of your intestines.<\/p>\n

When this happens, you may notice symptoms like bloating. You will probably also notice symptoms like diarrhea and weight loss, as well as a great deal of stomach pain, and you will have a great deal of gas as well. That\u2019s why it is important to treat celiac disease as soon as possible and to avoid foods that cause symptoms.<\/p>\n\r\n
