In this video, we're going to talk about how to stop bloating fast.
If bloating is a new issue for you, always look at what you changed in your diet or lifestyle around the time you started experiencing bloating.
Certain foods can cause bloating and digestive discomfort, including:
• Junk food
• Sugar alcohols (sweeteners)
• Greens
• Cruciferous vegetables
• Dairy
• Keto snacks
• Fiber
Stress can also cause bloating due to high levels of cortisol, which causes inflammation in the gut.
Let's talk about the five causes of bloating in each of your primary digestive organs.
1. Low stomach acidity
Your stomach needs to be highly acidic to break down nutrients and kill off microbes that may cause you to bloat. Signs of low stomach acidity include acid reflux, indigestion, and bloating.
What to try:
• Betaine hydrochloride
• Apple cider vinegar
2. Low bile in the gallbladder
Created by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, bile acts as a detergent to break down fat-soluble nutrients. Without enough bile, you may experience serious digestive discomfort and bloating.
What to try:
• Purified bile salts
• Gallbladder acupressure massage
3. Low enzyme levels in the pancreas
Enzymes are also important for breaking down nutrients and preventing bloating.
What to try:
• Enzyme-rich foods, like vegetables
• Fermented foods
4. Poor gut microbiome in the large intestine
When your gut microbiome isn't balanced, certain microbes may overpopulate and produce gas that leads to bloating.
What to try:
• Probiotics
• Fermented foods
5. SIBO
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a condition where too much bacteria build up in your small intestine. These microbes can cause all sorts of problems, including bloating. While probiotics can be useful for a lack of gut microbes, if you have SIBO, you want to avoid probiotics and fiber.
What to try:
• Oregano
• Garlic
• Avoid fiber
• Avoid probiotics
If you're not on a Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting plan, start there. In many cases, switching to a healthier diet can be the fastest way to get rid of excess bloating.

I would suggest that walking, walking enough steps a day is super important for digestion. 15/20 minutes walking after a meal helps too.

1-Very important to stand up after eating (walking is of course better), this is why I like to wash dishes after meal, it's like a routine to force me to stand up. 2- reduce coffee, you might think it helps because it accelerates digestion but it's just screwing the natural rythm of your digestion. 3- drink frequently during the day. Water is fundamental in the process of digesting. 4- chew a lot your food (I did all those steps and it helps me a lot + I stopped cheese for dinner , since I'm French it was the most difficult part :)

Two weeks ago I'd had ENOUGH of feeling and looking five months pregnant. I began almost cutting out bread. Potatoes. Biscuits and cake. I dance and stretch..thirty mins a day. Do stomach massages. Five mins of floor stretches. Plus a probiotic. I feel Great. My PJs are falling off. I'm very happy. I will continue this.

I bloated. I found out I had stage 3 ovarian cancer. I was told by doctor I trusted at the time. I was just eating wrong (for 2 years) until I had to go to the ER when my bloat turned into 9 month pregnant look in less than a week. ER diagnosed Ovarian Cancer, tumor had ruptured. If I had listened to my "trusted" doctor and not have gone to the ER, I would have been dead before the week was out. I got surgery within 48 hours after diagnosis. Today, I am 8 years remission. I had a full hysterectemy, which could have been avoided if I had gotten tests when the bloating was not clearing up with "proper" diet. Get tests, make sure the bloating isn't something else. Get second, even third opinions. I am a survivor, but some days (because I and my husband had wanted children) I wish I wasn't. We don't make enough to adopt. I refuse to foster, in case I become attached to a child I have to give back.

Bloating was a daily occurrence for me until I learned about everything explained here. Today, my gut is much better in many, many ways a great deal due to the teachings of Dr. Berg. Thank you, Dr. Berg!!!!

That’s why I love this channel because Dr Eric knew I’d be breaking my fast in a terrible way this time

Daily consumption of raw ginger stopped my bloating completely and instantly. Can eat any type of large meal and no bloating or feeling of being too full whatsoever. Quite incredible!

This the best condensed run down on everything having to do with bloating in the digestive system that I have seen...revealing to you how you are making it worse helps a lot!

I have bloating for as far back as I can remember. I recently stooped taking fruit juice, and cut down on fruit intake, I fast every now and then, cut down sugar, stopping taking carbonated drinks, and suddenly , the constant bloating stopped. I feel much better these days

This video has provided more insight than 4 doctors I've seen already. Bravo and thank you for this!

My bloating was caused by lack of hydrochloric acid. I also had severe hair loss. After starting taking Betaine hcl, I finally have flat stomach again and my hair started growing back!

This was awesome. I’ve been suffering for so long with digestive issues and this really helped to point me in the right direction.

Perfect, great and helpful as always. I showed this video to my mom and she told me: Be proud of your father because of his interest to keeping hens, we are consuming organic eggs for seven years. Fron now on we will give hens fermented food. Thank you dear Dr. Berg.
-
Experiencing this myself for the past months. Great to once again be back in your channel.
-
Doctor Berg, you are a national treasure. Thank you for helping so many people.

THANK YOU DR! I needed this education. I hope to change a lot of bad habits as soon as I move next week. I've been super depressed for a long time and Covid times made me anxious. I've had a couple bouts of severe digestive issues during this time and was worried about having developed food sensitivities, but tests proved this not to be the case. Keep up the great work and we appreciate you sharing your vast knowledge.
