About this episode
Bloating is a common symptom which most of us experience from time to time acutely, (for instance if we have a tummy bug or food poisoning), but in this episode I try to unpack the potential reasons behind why bloating can occur in the first place and how to approach it. This episode is a rapid 10-minute 101. Do check out the links in the show notes.
