FAQs

The biggest complaint in people who have abdominal discomfort is bloating—a feeling of swelling or discomfort. Bloating is a result of gas becoming trapped in the upper GI tract, and the most common cause is bacteria breaking down food. In a healthy body, the upper GI tract is nearly sterile.

When the normal environment of the GI tract is altered with increased bacteria, it can disrupt your digestive health and cause bloating and other digestive issues such as abdominal discomfort, constipation and diarrhea.
