Let’s get something straight. The word bloating? It’s the word du jour, and I hear it a lot. The thing is, most people who complain about abdominal bloating don’t know that gas (not just water retention) is a major cause. This “bloat” is any abnormal swelling, or increase in diameter, of the abdominal area.

A gut full of gas may sound trivial, but that constant pressure and resulting abdominal pain can be among the most annoying symptoms a person can endure. It pales next to a brain tumor, but it can sure ruin a good day.
