Bloating is the result of trapped gas in your digestive system that can cause your waist line to increase up to three inches, according to ABCâs Good Morning America. If you notice that youâre bloated after chewing gum, stop chewing gum for a few days to see if the bloating subsides. Continual bloating may be a sign of a more serious medical condition, such as irritable bowel syndrome, Crohnâs disease or bowel obstruction.
Gas and bloating happen commonly. You can experience these symptoms from swallowing air while chewing gum, or eating artificial sweeteners. Less often, gas and bloating can signal something more serious, such as intestinal disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or colon cancer. There are two main causes of gas: swallowed air and the normal breakdown of undigested food -- especially sugar, starches, and fiber. Your body expels this gas through burps and farts. Everyone does it. In fact, when your body is healthy, it's normal to pass gas 14 to 23 times a day.
