Bloating is commonly caused by excess wind, which the gut produces when it struggles to break down certain foods. Beans, onions, broccoli and cauliflower, are just some of the foods the body can struggle to digest, resulting in bloating. Eating too much, drinking fizzy drinks and eating spicy food are other bloating triggers, but if bloating becomes a regular occurrence, it could be due to irritable bowel syndrome. IBS is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal disorders, thought to affect up to 20 per cent of the population.
