Stop feeling bloated all day
Bloating can stem from anything from eating patterns and swallowing air to FODMAPs or gut imbalances. We find out what applies to you — and do something about it.
In short
What is bloating?
Bloating is one of the most common stomach complaints, often caused by gas, slow emptying or altered gut sensitivity.
For many it's linked to IBS, food intolerance or stress — but it can also have other causes.
A proper assessment determines what actually helps.
Does this sound familiar?
This might sound like your situation
Bloating is experienced as a tight stomach, a feeling of gas, discomfort after meals and visible swelling — especially as the day goes on.
- Your trousers get tight throughout the day even though your weight is stable
- You feel bloated shortly after meals
- You've tried various cures and probiotics without clear effect
- You're unsure whether it's food, stress or pace that triggers it
- You want to understand what's happening before cutting out more food
SmartEating recommends
What makes the biggest difference?
For bloating, these are the areas most worth checking first.
Eating pace
Slowing down and chewing well reduces the amount of air you swallow.
Meal rhythm
Regular, moderate meals limit the build-up of gas over the day.
FODMAP check
A short, guided trial can reveal whether fermentable carbohydrates are the main driver.
Carbonated drinks and gum
Both introduce extra gas that has to work its way through the gut.
Stress and pace of day
Rushed, stressful days often line up with worse bloating.
When should you contact a doctor?
Persistent symptoms should be investigated to rule out underlying disease.
- Blood in the stool
- Unexplained weight loss
- Nighttime pain
- Symptoms starting after age 50
- Family history of bowel cancer
We work on the diet after a medical investigation.

The knowledge behind the advice
Fibre
Fibre comes from plants and plays a key role in digestion, blood sugar regulation and a healthy gut microbiome. Most people in Norway eat less fibre than recommended, and it is often one of the easiest places to start when improving your diet.
Vegetables
Vegetables are one of the most recommended food groups in any diet, known for their low energy content and high content of vitamins, minerals, fibre and plant compounds. A varied and generous intake of vegetables is one of the clearest recommendations in nutrition.
Oats
Oats are a wholegrain product that have long been a staple of Norwegian cooking, and are receiving increasing attention for their favourable nutritional profile. They are an affordable, versatile and filling source of fibre, carbohydrates, and several vitamins and minerals.
