Why Am I So Bloated? Hormonal Bloating Explained
If you’ve been asking yourself, “Why do I feel so bloated all the time?” — you’re not alone. That tight, swollen feeling in your belly isn’t just frustrating, it can be downright uncomfortable and confidence-knocking.
At Purely Her, we’re here to walk this journey with you — because we’ve been there too. Let’s dive into what’s reallygoing on when your hormones are causing havoc in your gut, and how you can reclaim that light, comfortable feeling again. 💜
What Causes Hormonal Bloating?
Hormonal bloating, especially in your 30s, 40s, and 50s, is often linked to fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone. These hormones play a role in fluid retention, gut motility, and digestive enzyme production.
During perimenopause and menopause, estrogen levels can spike and fall irregularly. This can lead to:
-
Water retention
-
Sluggish digestion
-
Increased sensitivity to certain foods
-
Constipation or gassiness
Even if your diet hasn’t changed, your body’s response might have — thanks to your shifting hormone levels.
Common Triggers That Make Bloating Worse:
-
High-salt or ultra-processed foods
-
Carbonated drinks
-
Stress and cortisol spikes
-
Lack of fibre or hydration
-
Hormonal imbalances (especially low progesterone or fluctuating estrogen)
So, What Can You Do About It?
Here’s the good news: bloating doesn’t have to be your new normal.
Start with these daily habits:
✅ Stay hydrated — water helps flush excess sodium
✅ Eat potassium-rich foods (like bananas, spinach, sweet potatoes)
✅ Reduce caffeine and processed sugar
✅ Manage stress through walks, journaling, or deep breathing
✅ Take time to chew and slow your meals down
But sometimes, lifestyle changes aren’t enough — and that’s where natural hormone-supportive supplements can help.
