One of the thing you might experience with an anxiety condition
is the bloat. Specifically abdominal bloating. And one of the ways
that you get the bloat is by sucking in too much air or your have a
combination of air, fermented food or gas in your stomach.
How did that air get in there? There are some possible reasons:
For some of us, it is that choking sensation and you are trying to
get in enough air and you are taking it in via your nose and
mouth.
Another possible cause is emotional eating. For some of us, it is
woofing down our food to feel better at a high rate of speed.
So in this episode, what you can do about the bloat?
