What is bloating? 🧐
Bloating is a condition where your belly feels full and tight, often due to gas. People might confuse bloating with other reasons for a more noticeable belly, such as abdominal wall laxity, or looseness. This is common, especially among older women and those who have had children.

💥 Common triggers for bloating 💥
- Digestive Issues
- Diet
- Hormonal Changes
How long does a bloated stomach last?
If your bloating is due to something you ate or drank or to hormone fluctuations, it should begin to ease within a few hours to days. If you are constipated, it won’t go down until you start pooping. Water, exercise and probiotic supplement can help encourage all of these things along. If it doesn’t go away or gets worse, seek medical attention.
The following quick tips may help to manage stomach bloating quickly:
- Go for a walk – Physical activity can get the bowels moving more regularly, which can help to release excess gas and stool.
- Do yoga – Certain yoga poses can position the muscles in the abdomen in a way that encourages the release of excess gas from the GI tract.
- Abdominal massage – Massaging the abdomen can help to get the bowels moving, which follows the path of the large intestine.
- Take warm bath – The heat of the bath can provide relief for a sore abdomen and may allow the GI tract to function more effectively.
- Try probiotics – Probiotics are good bacteria that live in the intestines. Taking a probiotic supplement may help to regulate the colon bacteria that can produce gas and cause bloating.
