Gas and bloating

Symptom
Gas and bloating specifically arising from intestinal irritation are often caused by foods that aggravate the nerve endings in the intestinal tract lining. Nutritional yeast is a particular offender — its glutamic acid acts as an intestinal and colon irritant, directly creating gas and bloating even in people who think they are eating healthily.
  • Food poisoning trigger: Food poisoning can be a trigger that leads to gastritis, which includes gas and bloating, discomfort and cramping with stomach pain and painful gas
  • Nutritional yeast: Glutamic acid from nutritional yeast aggravates nerve endings in the intestinal tract lining and is an intestinal irritant and colon irritant
  • Nutritional yeast as specific intestinal irritant: Nutritional yeast contains glutamic acid (MSG equivalent) which is an intestinal irritant and colon irritant. The glutamic acid aggravates nerve endings in the intestinal tract lining, creating gas and bloating. Many people consuming nutritional yeast thinking it is healthy experience worsening gut symptoms.
  • Streptococcus bacteria: Streptococcus causes IBS, inflammation, Crohn's, can irritate intestinal tract causing constipation, gas and bloating, and gastritis
  • Low hydrochloric acid: When hydrochloric acid in the stomach gets diminished, bacteria rises including E. coli and strep, causing chronic bloating
