Why Flying Causes Bloating: Causes, Symptoms, and Tips

Have you ever felt bloated on a plane?

It's called "jet belly!"

Air pressure changes, stress from rushing to the airport, and not enough water can cause gas to build up in your tummy.

This leads to bloating, like a balloon in your belly, and can make you feel uncomfortable.

To help, drink lots of water, avoid fizzy drinks, and move around on the plane.

Eating a meal a few hours before you fly is a good idea too.

This should help keep your tummy happy on your next flight!
