Stomach Bloating 

Feeling bloated and gassy are two of the most common digestive symptoms people experience. Bloating happens when there is excess gas or pressure in your intestines.

Bad bacteria or other pathogens can cause inflammation of the gut lining, which is believed to be a trigger of bloating and gas production. Increased gas levels from bacterial overgrowth may also cause bloating.

Eating a poor diet high in carbs or fermentable fiber can be a huge contributor to gas and bloating. Food allergies or sensitivities can also contribute to bloating. For example, if you are unable to properly digest lactose, you may feel bloated when you eat dairy products.

Constipation is low stool frequency. It happens when food moves too slowly through your digestive system. When food takes too long to travel through your gut, it’s more likely to ferment and fuel bacterial overgrowth. The longer food lingers, the more likely it may back up in the intestines and lead to distention and discomfort.

Improving constipation relieves bloating symptoms.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that live in your digestive tract that confer health benefits primarily in the large intestine. Probiotics work to improve your gut environment and gut microbiome by interacting with your immune system and your existing good bacteria.

When it comes to bloating, probiotics can help improve the balance of bacteria in your gut, which often corrects the underlying cause of the bloating.
