Summary

Bloating—uncomfortable, frustrating, and often a mystery. But how much of it is actually normal? In this episode, we cut through the noise and get straight to the facts. With bloating now fueling a billion-pound industry, countless products promise relief. But do they really work, or is the solution far simpler? What really causes bloating? Are quick-fix supplements worth it, or just clever marketing? Can stress, diet, or even tight clothing make it worse? To help separate fact from fiction, we’re joined by Catherine Rabess, a Registered Dietitian specialising in gastroenterology and complex nutrition support. Catherine is the Clinical Lead Dietitian for NHS Nutrition and Dietetic Service in South West London, and helps clients on a 1-1 basis inside the Rhitrition Clinic. She shares expert-backed insights to help you understand your gut — and feel your best in this episode. Catherine is also the author of The 30 Plan: Why Eating 30 Plants a Week Will Revolutionise Your Gut Health. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
