Nutrition consultation for bloating
Bloated belly after almost every meal, a feeling of pressure or discomfort that keeps coming back? You’re not alone. At Épithélia, digestive health is our specialty: our team helps you identify what’s causing your bloating rather than simply masking it.
You don’t have to live with this discomfort any longer. A first appointment is enough to get it clear.
Possible causes of bloating
Bloating can be linked to several causes: food intolerances, swallowed air, an imbalance in the gut microbiome, or a digestive disorder such as irritable bowel syndrome or SIBO. A quick remedy can provide temporary relief, but does not address the underlying cause.
Our clinical approach to flatulence
Our approach begins with a thorough evaluation of your digestive history, eating habits, and when your symptoms first appeared. Our nutritionists ask specific clinical questions, often different from those asked by other professionals, to pinpoint the likely cause or causes before building a personalized action plan.
Over time, monitoring allows the approach to be adjusted in line with the evolution of your symptoms.

Frequently asked questions
Why do I have bloating after almost every meal?
This may be linked to an intolerance to food, an imbalance in the microbiome, or an underlying digestive disorder. A personalized assessment allows us to identify the cause specific to your situation.
Is there a quick remedy for bloating?
Some habits can provide temporary relief, but a quick fix does not address the underlying cause. A structured approach allows for more lasting well-being.
Are bloating related to irritable bowel syndrome?
Bloating is a common symptom of irritable bowel syndrome, but it can also occur independently. An evaluation helps to distinguish between the two.
