Bloating is one of the most common complaints that women come to the Within Nutrition team with - and also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, Kylie breaks down why bloating is not a one-size-fits-all problem, why eliminating foods is rarely the answer, and what's actually going on in your body when you feel that familiar pressure, pain, or distension after eating.

If you've been trying to figure out your bloating for a while and nothing seems to work, this episode will help you understand why - and give you six practical things you can start doing today.
