The Atma Approach

Chronic Bloating
& Gas

Chronic bloating is not normal.

Often mistaken for belly fat, chronic bloating is worth resolving — for your comfort and your long-term health.

By Dr. Neela Sandal

The short answer: Chronic bloating and gas have root causes, such as SIBO, food sensitivities, leaky gut, and dysbiosis, that symptom-covering drugs miss. The Atma Approach is to find and fix them.

Is Chronic Bloating and Gas Normal?

No. Chronic bloating is often mistaken for belly fat, and it is worth resolving for your comfort and your long-term health. Mainstream medicine usually covers up the symptoms with drugs that are often only partly effective.

Chronic bloating is often mistaken for belly fat. It's important to get this resolved, both for your comfort and for your long-term health.

The mainstream medicine approach to chronic bloating and gas is to cover up the symptoms with drugs. These are often ineffective, or only partially effective, and miss the root of the problem.

What Causes Chronic Bloating and Gas That Mainstream Medicine Misses?

Commonly missed root causes include small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), food sensitivities, leaky gut, and dysbiosis.

The Atma Approach to chronic bloating and gas is to get to the root and fix the problem — not just cover it up.

Commonly Missed Root Causes

•Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) — an often-missed infection in the gut that causes chronic bloating and gut irritability
•Food sensitivities — these aren't allergies, but they drive chronic inflammation from certain foods
•Leaky gut — chronic, mild injury that builds up over time, leading to ongoing gut irritation
•Dysbiosis — everyone has a unique gut biome. When these normal bacteria fall out of balance, they generate gas as a byproduct of fermentation. Not a good thing
