“Bloating” seems to be a term used often to describe a certain feeling after eating, or really any time of day.  According to Johns Hopkins, as many as 1 in 3 of otherwise healthy people complain of occasional abdominal bloating. A large number of Americans say they suffer from this regularly, even when they haven't eaten a large meal. In some cases, bloating can become severe enough that it causes distention, or a noticeable swelling of the abdomen. This feeling is often tied to not only what you eat, but how you eat. Sometimes a few simple changes can make the difference!  When thinking about bloating, it is generally defined as “a condition where the belly feels full and tight, often due to gas”. But let’s break this down. What is it? Is it really just gas? What causes it? What is normal vs abnormal? And what can we do to potentially prevent it?
