FMF Series: Episode 4- We're Talking the Struggles of Bloating
"A main cause of bloating is malnutrition, not eating enough, and also having disordered eating patterns or an eating disorder. If someone has dietary intolerances, this could lead to being bloated more than normal. The primary reason for abdominal bloating is gas. Gas is a typical product of digestion, but too much can cause that uncomfortable feeling of bloating."
