I appreciated that the article separated bloating from distension and water retention, since those get lumped together and then nothing quite fits. Testing one change at a time, like chewing well or easing back on a trigger food, may support steadier digestion, and persistent bloating with pain or weight changes deserves a prompt word with a doctor.

I’ve googled a bit and it seems that peppermint tea can, but I’m not sure if the substances responsible for that are in the oil as well.

If it does inhibit iron absorption, can it be effective when taken between meals, or is the bloating preventing effect only there if taken with meals?

Hi Jane, yeah there is a bit of evidence for peppermint I believe, such as peppermint tea. Give it a try 🙂

The bloating and pain never completely go away. Even headaches and upper digestive area are included. Peppermint ?????

Been on the fodmap diet for more than 6 weeks & still suffering from serious bloating, my intestine can be seen poking out through my stomach & it hurts! I am very slim only 40 kilos & have lost some weight too! What else can I do? I take probiotics, have just finished digestive enzymes, have been taking aloe vera, reduced caffeine, no grains except oats & a tiny amount of rice 1-2 a week, gluten free for more than 2 yrs,can’t eat cheese, which is supposed to be ok on low fodmaps… still constipated & having diarrhoea daily! still suffering & very confused about what to do now! Thanks! Sam
