Bloating can occur if a person has irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Most of us are familiar with the signs and symptoms of indigestion: nausea, pain in the upper abdomen, and a lot of burping. Even after eating small meals, we feel bloated and unusually full at times. At times, there could be a clear trigger, such as some food we may have eaten, while at others there could be nothing at all. But no matter what, suffering from indigestion or bloating on a regular basis can be very distressing. In an Instagram video, nutritionist Lovneet Batra highlighted a few factors related to bloating, and shared some of the reasons that cause bloating.
In the video, Lovneet said that when it comes to health issues, many people self-diagnose various ailments or diseases. Bloating is one such ailment for which people frequently make assumptions. Bloating can occur if a person has irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or a food intolerance, but there are many additional reasons as well that one should consider.
