Have you started taking Balance and noticed some gas or bloating? Maybe your stomach feels like a construction site—gurgling, making noises, and feeling a bit full?

Good news: This is completely normal!

When you increase your fiber intake, your body needs time to adjust. This temporary bloating and gas happen because fiber feeds the good bacteria in your gut. It’s a sign that your digestive system is adapting!

Why Does This Happen?

1. Your gut bacteria are finally getting fuel.
   If your diet was low in fiber before, your gut bacteria may not be used to breaking down prebiotic fiber. As they start digesting it, they produce gas—but over time, your body will adapt, and these symptoms will fade.

2. Fiber absorbs water.
   Have you ever noticed how Balance thickens when you mix it with water? The same thing happens inside your body. Fiber pulls in water, helping to move waste through your system. This can make you feel full or bloated at first, but staying hydrated will help your body adjust.

3. Your microbiome is shifting.
   Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria, and Balance helps promote a healthier, more diverse gut environment. As your body builds up the right bacteria to break down fiber, digestion becomes smoother, and bloating goes away.

How Long Does It Take to Adjust?

Everyone is different, but most people feel better within 1 to 2 weeks. For some, it may take up to 30 days to fully adjust. The key is to be patient and allow your gut to do its work!

What Can You Do to Feel Better?

• Drink plenty of water. Fiber works best when you’re well-hydrated.

• Move your body. Walking, jogging, or light exercise helps get things moving in your digestive tract.

• Start slow. If bloating is uncomfortable, try taking just one packet of Balance a day or even half a packet at a time. As your body adjusts, you can increase your intake.

Final Thoughts

Gas and bloating may feel uncomfortable at first, but they’re just signs that your body is adapting to a healthier gut. Stay consistent, drink water, and give your body time—it’ll be worth it!
