The Science of Bloating and Abdominal Pain
About this episode
This episode explores the complex causes of bloating and abdominal pain, emphasizing the gut-brain axis and other physiological factors.
In this episode, we take a deep, science-driven look at the real causes of bloating and abdominal pain — far beyond the usual food sensitivity explanations. Kylie Churnetski RD, CPT, NBC-HWC, RYT-500 breaks down the complex interactions between the gut–brain axis, digestive physiology, motility disorders, microbial imbalance, inflammation, hormones, and the autonomic nervous system. In this short episode, you’ll learn why bloating is rarely “just gas,” how neurological and immune pathways amplify discomfort, and why women experience these symptoms more intensely. She also dives into how functional stool testing like the GI-MAP can uncover root causes such as dysbiosis, enzyme insufficiency, and gut inflammation. If you struggle with chronic bloating or work with clients who do, this episode offers clear, evidence-based insight into what’s really happening inside the body Learn More About 1-1 Coaching Additional Resources: Podcast Episode: The Gut Brain Axis Podcast Episode: The Vagal Nerve
