Why You’re Bloated Even After Eating “Clean” | Fix the System, Not the Food List | Ep 79

You cut out gluten. Then dairy. Then processed foods. Maybe you even tried low FODMAP.But somehow, you’re still bloated.And now even “safe” foods like chicken, rice, eggs, broccoli, or potatoes feel like they’re betraying you.In this episode, Andrew and Kat explain why bloating on clean, simple foods usually isn’t about the food itself. It’s often a sign that your digestive system isn’t breaking food down properly, which can lead to excess fermentation, trapped gas, distension, and a gut that feels reactive to almost everything.They also break down the role of stomach acid, enzymes, bile flow, motility, leaky gut, protein fermentation, and why simply cutting more foods usually makes the problem worse long-term.If you feel like your diet keeps getting “cleaner” while your gut keeps getting more sensitive, this episode will help you understand what’s actually happening. (00:00) Why “safe” foods can still make you bloated (06:51) Fermentation, trapped gas, and digestive dysfunction (14:14) Leaky gut, protein fermentation, and what labs can reveal (24:49) Simple fixes for bloating, motility, and sparkling waterReady to make sense of your symptoms and hit your goals for life?
