And you wouldn\u2019t be wrong, as the research shows that increased stress can worsen bloating and stomach distention.<\/p>\n<p>There is a strong link between stress and IBS symptoms, such as bloating. This could be due to stress altering the gut microbiota leading to dysbiosis\/bacterial overgrowth. These changes in gut flora can lead to increased gas production and inflammation within the GI tract. Bloating is a common symptom of inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>Stomach bloating can be reduced by changing one&#8217;s diet, lifestyle and following supplemental recommendations.
