Why Am I Always Bloated, Even When I Eat Healthy Foods?

Written By Sonya Thorn

You're bloated despite eating healthy because bloating isn't about what you eat—it's about how your gut bacteria process food. When your microbiome is out of balance (dysbiosis), even nutritious foods cause fermentation, gas, and bloating.

The Problem

Many healthy foods are high in FODMAPs—carbohydrates that feed gut bacteria. With bacterial overgrowth or imbalance, foods like broccoli, beans, whole grains, and raw vegetables ferment in your gut, causing that uncomfortable "pregnant belly" feeling.

The Solution

Stop guessing. Start investigating. Comprehensive gut testing reveals what's actually wrong—SIBO, dysbiosis, or other imbalances. Then you can address the root cause with targeted treatment, not food restriction forever.

"After helping over 500 women heal their gut, I've learned that bloating isn't about eating 'bad' foods. It's about what's happening in your microbiome."
— Sonya Thorn, Gut Health Detective
