Here are 2 ways to decrease abdominal bloating and decrease gut pain without medication. Abdominal bloating is something that I have personally struggled with since I was in college. I find that self-massage and myosfascial release to the abdominal region increases motility in my gut as well as improves overall comfort and flatness. Abdominal massage for bloating is a really helpful technique to complete on yourself to improve comfort and decrease bloating.

*As one viewer mentioned, abdominal bloating can be a sign of Ovarian Cancer. Please note the signs & symptoms of Ovarian Cancer:
-Persistent bloating
-Feeling full quickly
-Indigestion/heartburn
-Changes in bowel
-Shortness of breath
-Abdominal pain

Please Note: Ovarian Cancer is NOT screened for in your pap smear (cervical cancer is) and can happen at ANY AGE (including in your 20s).
If you have any/all of these signs and symptoms please bring them up to your doctor and request a pelvic ultrasound and a CA125 blood test.


, In honor of my friend Brittany Crosby, who was a huge advocate for educating on the disease, as well as the growth of this video, I believe it's my duty to share information on Ovarian Cancer, as bloating CAN be an early sign. It can also be a symptom of other inflammatory diseases, so please, always bring up constant bloating symptoms to your doctor.

Thank you! After an EXTREMELY small meal I become bloated, but after about 2 meals, It feels painful to fully let out my stomach. Defo using this

[belindathomas]

This helped me so much. I had eaten something which didn't agree with me and I felt sick/bloated in my tummy. I did this massage and about a minute into it, I did a huge big burp! It did fix the issue though, and I felt good again afterwards!

[kbeanz]

Woke up in so much pain and discomfort and this helped ALOT. Thank you!!

Dr. Your techniques are really helpful to reduce bloating and constipation.

[solianestrikesagain]

I've been revisiting this video every so often for years now. THANK YOU SO MUCH. It's my to go technique nearly every day, and when I feel too sick to do it myself, my partner calls it the "burpy time", he loves how effective it is to do it even if it grosses me out 😬

[MrTidx]

My breathing is better, and I'm able to naturally reach the true tone of my voice. Many thanks

[Lanaprivitera]

Many thanks for these video!! I learned these techniques many years ago... and they really help me!!! There are only a few foods that don't bloat me, so I use these massages very often.. After a few minutes of massaging my stomach area, I can hear my guts starting to gurgle... and that tell me that it's working and I will feel the relief very soon.

Thank you. I’m having a sudden onset x10days constant bloating. Day 5 now no plant fiber and only had beef bone broth today. Gonna try this tonight and keep fasting and only hamburger and broth. I feel inflamed all over and mood is not great. Something is off I pray this works.

Thanks for sharing! I have IBS and this helped relieve some of the pain

[HOTKNlFE]

Thank you so much for this!!! im on my period and ate a large meal WAY too quickly and this video has solved my issue :)

the way you speak is very comforting too!

[Godlyfigure-ejlk]

I’ve always wanted to get an abdominal massage professionally but I’m just too ticklish. Hopefully doing this myself will help with constipation.

[reddrum]

Thank you I've been bloated for a whole day and this was the only thing that helped give me some relief

My sister suffers so much with her digestive system and has diverticulitis too. This video is a huge help as food moves through her system very slowly and gets compacted. Thank you for this xxx

Might try this myself. I went and got a professional massage done yesterday but my therapist couldn’t do my abdomen as soon as she touched it I tightened and rolled over. I’m just too ticklish! Unfortunately.
