1. Low Digestive Enzymes
Digestive enzyme insufficiency can lead to malnutrition or gastrointestinal irritation. Common symptoms include stomach ache, cramps and bloating.
2. Parasites like worms, fungus etc...
Some parasites like worms, Protozoa, fungus , bacteria can disrupt the normal digestion of food in the intestines. These may produce excessive gas.
3. Bacterial Overgrowth in the Small Intestine
The bacteria in the small intestine can produce gas a part of their normal metabolic process. Increased pathogenic bacterial population leads to more gas production and subsequent bloating.
4. Low Short Chain Fatty Acids
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) play an important role in maintaining the intestinal health. When the levels of SCFAs in the colon are low or imbalanced, it can lead to digestive problems and bloating.
5. Yeast Infection
Overgrowth of Yeast (Candidia) can cause symptoms like pain in the abdomen and bloating.
6. Low Levels of Probiotics
