Bloat Symptoms

Yes, there is, although your bloat is not always necessarily caused by an intolerance. If you have suffered badly with bloating but have not identified what is causing these issues, then you may have a food intolerance.

Food Intolerances are a lot more common than most people realise, as there are many people around the world and in the UK not knowing that they are living with food intolerance. Once you have identified your intolerances there are ways to manage them, and if you successfully avoid the offending food item, your bloating will disappear.
