Why It Happens
Bloating before eating, often called "hunger bloating," can be triggered by gut dysbiosis, slow gastric emptying, dehydration, or trapped gas from previous meals.
Fermentation of Previous Meals: Residual food in the gut can ferment and trap gas.
Gut Motility Issues: Slow stomach emptying leads to fullness even before meals.
Dehydration: Thickened intestinal contents cause sluggish movement.
Stress-Induced Gut Spasms: Anxiety triggers can constrict gut flow.
Microbial Overgrowth: SIBO or dysbiosis can cause pre-meal bloating symptoms.
How to Manage
Stay Well Hydrated: Water supports digestion and bowel movement.
Eat Smaller, Easier-to-Digest Meals: Gentle on a sensitive gut.
Use Gentle Movement Before Meals: Walking stimulates gut motility.
Consider Testing for SIBO if Persistent: Especially if severe or chronic.
Relax Before Eating: Breathwork or pausing calms digestion activation.
Pre-meal bloating signals a gut that needs reset — patience and nourishment help.
