What is bloating?

It is mostly described as a constricting feeling of tightness in the abdomen area, caused by an abundance of gas or water retention.

Sometimes painful, but ALWAYS uncomfortable.

There are normally two kinds of menopausal bloating: water retention or gas retention.

And they can strike on a daily basis...one day, your stomach is completely flat and the next it transforms into a little paunch to rival most men’s beer bellies.

What causes menopausal bloat?

Having gas is part of our natural digestive process, and bloating is the result of the build-up of the gases produced.

But where does the gas come from?

Right from the microbiome — your gut bacteria that’s responsible for breaking down and digesting our food (gas is a natural byproduct of this process).

However, when gas gets produced more than usual…

That’s when the uncomfortable feeling of being bloated comes around.

And usually, it’s one of these 4 culprits:

#1 Hormonal Imbalance

Our gut microbiome is extremely sensitive to hormonal changes. As we enter menopause, your hormonal levels might start decreasing. 

Imbalances in the estrogen and progesterone, as well the increased levels of cortisol (the stress hormone), may lead to abdominal bloating in some women. 

Tip: Drink a shot of this natural blend of phytoestrogenic concoction, which aims to replenish hormonal balance:

• Lemon juice
• Fresh turmeric and ginger
• A pinch of black pepper.

#2 Lesser Digestive Enzymes

Digestive enzymes refer to the digestive juices your stomach secretes to help break down food you eat.

As you grow in age, your digestive enzymes decrease. And with menopause throwing another wrench in the works, the foods you eat get less and less digested.

This leads to an increased amount of partially digested food in your bloodstream, which can cause abdominal bloating.

Tip: Add 1-2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water and sip away at lunch time, dinner time or both. This will give a boost to digestion.

#3 Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth

A reduction in digestive enzymes can, in some cases, lead to an overgrowth of  bacteria in the small intestine. 

This condition is known as SIBO – which stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth –  is where bacteria from the colon migrate upwards into the small intestine, which interferes with digestion. 

This results in the fermentation of carbohydrates in the small intestine, leading to an increase in gas buildup.

Tip: Eat a nutrient-rich wholefood diet that is right for you. Reduce the amount of processed sugar and refined grains.

#4 Gut Dysbiosis

Your gut is responsible for a lot of things, digestion included! And the things responsible for keeping your gut healthy and digestion smooth, are probiotics. 

Usually, your gut bacteria lives in balance. However, when this internal ecosystem becomes imbalanced, due to any number of possible factors, including: 

• Unhealthy diet
• Antibiotics
• Hormonal imbalance
• Chronic stress

This imbalance in gut flora is known as dysbiosis. A reduction in certain species of probiotics may lead to a more sensitive gut, resulting in more gas and bloating.

Tip: Invest in a good quality probiotic to make sure the good bacteria is sufficient to keep proper gut flora balance.

Need a good quality probiotic to help manage bloating?

Probiotics are often referred to as your body's good bacteria, and they help keep the gut in tip top condition! 

By feeding your gut probiotics, you can restore gut flora balance and reduce bloating naturally.

Research shows that the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains of probiotic works the best with symptoms such as gas and bloating.

So, if you’re looking for a way to add both probiotic strains to your every day routine, why not try Provitalize?

Provitalize contains specialized thermogenic strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium — including B.Lactis, which is studied to reduce constipation and bloat.

PS. Along with Probiotics, prebiotics are a must if you want to see faster & effective results to manage bloat!

Prebiotics act as food for the probiotics, which helps boost their function and efficacy.

This means the probiotics propagate faster and more efficiently in the gut, which improves gut function and reduces bloating.

That's why we've added a trio of gut loving probiotics, along with prebiotics that help boost probiotic function into our Slim Gut Bundle.
