Candida – How Did It Start?Ĭandida is a fungus, or yeast, that lives naturally in all our bodies. Other possible causes are anatomical or structural defects and surgeries done in the small intestine. SIBO can be triggered by certain medications, for example over-use of antacids. The small intestine does not house as much bacteria as the large intestine and if they overgrow this can also cause increased gas and abdominal bloating. Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth (SIBO) When we don’t digest our fats properly we will have increased gas and bloating. Similar to the pancreatic enzymes, the bile stored in the gallbladder works like a detergent on our fats to help us digest it. Gallbladder problemsĮither gallstones or sluggish bile from the gallbladder will cause gas & bloating. This poorly digested food will cause increased gas and bloating when it reaches the large intestine. If we do not have sufficient enzymes then they are unable to properly break down our food. The digestive enzymes, amylase, protease and lipase that are produced in the pancreas break down (or digest) the protein, fat and carbohydrates in the food we eat while it is travelling through the small intestines. Constipation may also make it harder to pass gas and therefore lead to increased bloating and abdominal pain. More frequent elimination reduces the gas produced from slow moving stool.
