It can be a topic that is seldom discussed, uncomfortable and embarrassing, so what are the most common causes of bloating and what can you do to prevent it

In this video, Sian, a 33 year old business owner and busy mother of two finds herself, like many of us, suffering from severe bloating as a result of her diet and busy lifestyle.

Sian documents her experiences in a week long video diary which shows how something as simple as a protein shake and not taking time to sit down and eat her meals can trigger bloating, as well as other lifestyle factors that she wasn’t even aware of.
