#198 Why you're so gassy (& it stinks!)

from Empowered Hormones with Sheradyn Dekker · host Sheradyn Dekker

Why you’re so gassy (and it stinks!) You can eat the same foods. Follow the same routine. Do everything “right”… and still end up bloated, uncomfortable, and wondering what just happened. Because when your gas feels completely unpredictable — no pattern, no trigger, no logic — it’s easy to assume you’re doing something wrong. But you’re not. The problem is not your effort.The problem is that you’ve been given symptom-management tools for a root cause issue. Today’s episode breaks down why your gas feels so random, why nothing you’ve tried has worked, and what is actually driving it underneath. In this episode, we cover: Methane-Dominant SIBO: Why gas can be produced by what’s living in your gut — not just what you eat — and how methane slows motility, increases fermentation, and keeps you stuck in bloating. Dysbiosis and the Gas-Producing Microbiome: How an imbalanced microbiome creates gas regardless of how “clean” your diet is, and why food tracking alone will never give you the full picture. Impaired Motility: How your gut’s natural clearing system (the migrating motor complex) breaks down, allowing bacteria to accumulate and symptoms to become chronic. Post-Infectious Gut Dysfunction: Why a past infection — even years ago — can still be driving your symptoms today through disrupted gut function. Why Nothing Has Worked: The problem with low FODMAP, restriction, and generic protocols that reduce symptoms temporarily but never address the underlying driver. The Testing Gap: Why standard GP testing often misses what actually matters, and how proper breath testing and microbiome mapping give you the data you need. You’re not gassy because you ate the wrong food. You’re gassy because your gut environment is compromised. Big difference. You don’t need to keep cutting foods.You don’t need to keep guessing. You need to understand what is actually driving your symptoms — and fix it properly. Your gut isn’t broken. It just hasn’t been properly investigated.
