7-Day Challenge to Get Rid of Bloating by Improving Your Gut Health

Is your stomach feeling full, tight, and uncomfortable? With approximately 16%-20% of the population suffering from bloating regularly, you are not alone. While bloat can make it hard for you to zip up your jeans, it also causes physical discomfort. It is often caused by excess gas or disturbances of the muscles of your digestive system. And, more importantly, it may be a sign that something is going on in your gut.

We used to think of the gut as a relatively simple system, essentially one long tube through which our food passes is absorbed, and wastes removed. We now know that the anatomy of our gut is much more complex. And we also know that there are many ways the gut microbiome affects your health, so improving your gut health may help ease bloating.
