Basically there are two types of Bloating namely Facial Bloating and Stomach Bloating.

Facial Bloating

Facial bloating is most prominent in the morning upon waking up However, it can continue throughout the day. The main cause for facial Bloating is Dehydration. When your Body feels that it is lacking water, it will start storing it and the first place it stores Water is the Face.

Many people incorrectly assume that high water consumption leads to bloating - In reality, dehydration results in fluid retention, particularly in the face.

It decreases our Urine Output and instead of processing liquid out of the body, the water is reabsorbed into the tissue. When this occurs we see slight signs of Swelling around the Face.

In other words, dehydration causes a buildup of fluid in the tissues and causes blood vessels to enlarge, which gives the face a “puffy” look

High sodium intake is the number one culprit for fluid retention. So you guys should tread lightly when it comes to salts.

The job of the kidneys is to filter the excess sodium into the urine so that the body can get rid of it. Sodium attracts water to it and is known as being osmotic.

Water follows the sodium and is drawn into the blood Stream. Excessive salt keeps the circulatory volume higher than it should be, creating and increased pressure in the blood stream and pressing on the blood vessel walls.

Stomach Bloating

Stomach bloating is the result of gas or fluid accumulating in your GI tract, or when bacteria in your large intestine have a hard time breaking down certain foods.

The most common type of foods that cause stomach bloating are high FODMAP foods.

FODMAP is an acronym that stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides And Polyols.

Since your body is unable to completely digest these sugar molecules, they travel through your GI tract and reach your colon undigested, where the bacteria that live in your colon begin to ferment them. The fermentation can produce gas and bloating.
