Can your morning bloating be triggering your anxiety?

Jul 04, 2025 5:06 am

Hi ,


Have you ever started your day with a bloated belly… and noticed your mind feels off too?

That tight, full feeling isn’t just physical—it can trigger a wave of anxiety, even before breakfast ends.


This isn’t a coincidence.


Your gut and brain are connected like best friends on speed dial.

So when your gut swells with gas and bloating, it sends signals of distress up to your brain.

Result? You feel uneasy, low, irritable… even anxious.

This is the gut-anxiety loop in real life.

But you can shift this, gently.


Here are 4 tips to start easing your bloating today:

1. Chew roasted saunf post meals or walk for 10 mins 

2. Reduce these gas-forming foods (at least in the morning): 

  • Raw onion and garlic
  • Beans and lentils (soak them overnight if you eat them)
  • Cruciferous veggies like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli

3. Watch your caffeine – coffee on an empty stomach triggers acid and bloating.

4. Chew slowly. Really slowly. Digestion begins in the mouth, not your stomach.


And here’s something to reflect on:

What’s one thing you could remove or replace from breakfast to help your gut breathe easier?

Remember , your gut is not misbehaving—it’s begging for a softer rhythm.

Let’s listen.

Your calm starts in your core.
