Why Bloating Isn’t Just About Food — And How to Heal Your Gut from the Inside Out
Struggling with daily bloating or discomfort? Learn how Birdsong Medical Centre helps uncover the root cause of gut issues using advanced testing, functional nutrition, and whole-body healing.
You’re Not Crazy You’re Inflamed
If you’re bloated every day even when you’re eating “healthy” you’re not alone.
Millennials are showing higher rates of gut disruption than any generation before. Why?
Stress. Antibiotics. Birth control. Environmental toxins. Processed food.
The gut is your second brain and it’s overwhelmed.
Top Causes of Chronic Bloating (That No One’s Talking About)
1. Dysbiosis (Gut Flora Imbalance)
Too many “bad” bacteria, not enough of the good ones.
This can lead to gas, bloating, food sensitivities, and even mood swings.
2. Leaky Gut (Intestinal Permeability)
Tight junctions in the gut wall loosen due to inflammation, letting toxins into the bloodstream and triggering bloating, brain fog, and fatigue.
3. Low Stomach Acid
Contrary to popular belief, too little stomach acid can cause bloating especially after meals. It prevents proper digestion and allows fermentation in the gut.
4. Stress & Nervous System Dysregulation
The gut and brain are in constant conversation. Chronic stress shuts down digestion and slows gut motility leading to bloating, constipation, and IBS-like symptoms.
5. Food Sensitivities (Not Allergies)
You may not be allergic, but certain foods (like gluten, dairy, or even healthy veggies) could be triggering inflammation or fermentation in your gut.
How Birdsong Gets to the Root
We use advanced testing and personalized care to uncover what’s really going on:
-
GI-MAP Stool Testing: to evaluate your microbiome, parasites, yeast, and gut inflammation
-
Food Sensitivity Panels: to identify low-grade triggers
-
Nutrient & Inflammation Labs: to check for deficiencies + leaky gut markers
-
Stress Response Evaluation: to see how your nervous system impacts digestion
