BAM! What is Bile Acid Malabsorption? - Causes of bloating

BAM…Bloated Again! Do you feel bloated?

Have you ever wondered why your abdomen feels tight, hard or painful?

Consequently, feeling bloated can make you look pregnant when you’re not.  It makes you feel full on a small amount of food making it difficult to eat.  This is especially concerning after WLS.

What is Bile Acid Malabsorption?
Bile acid malabsorption is when your body is unable to adequately absorb the bile.  Unfortunately, when too much bile arrives in the colon several symptoms occur, including bloating.

In addition to bloating, BAM causes several other concerning symptoms:
Diarrhea
Constipation
Fecal incontinence
Gas
Abdominal Pain
Greasy stools
Urgent, frequent stools
Hard to flush stools

WLS is a risk factor for BAM.  If you feel bloated, as well as other symptoms you may want to consider bile acid malabsorption.
