I remember sitting in St. Davids lecture theatre at Otago university (IYKYK), eating my Vogel's sandwich (packed lunch from the hall of residence of course), trying to concentrate on the lecture but having the most intense bloating pain.

My stomach was so hard and bloated that I had to undo the top button of my jeans and was almost doubled over in the lecture theatre, crippled with pain.

This was my first vivid memory with bloating and luckily for me, I was able to resolve this in a few years.

But for many of you that's not the case and you're still suffering from crippling bloating that affects every part of your life.

I ask her all the nitty gritty about what bloating really is, what causes it and what we can do about it, today!
