I’ve done two silk suppositories and I have bloating. Does NeuEve cause bloating?

I'm sorry to hear about the discomfort you're experiencing. Bloating is not a commonly reported side effect of using NeuEve Silk suppositories, but everyone's body reacts differently. It might be helpful to consider if there are any other changes in your diet or routine that could be contributing to this feeling.

Using the Silk suppositories vaginally and experiencing bloating in the digestive tract may be two independent incidences. These two are totally unrelated. To date, over 200,000 women have used NeuEve inserted vaginally, and no one has reported experiencing bloating in the stomach.

Certain foods can cause bloating due to gas production during digestion, water retention, or difficulty in breaking down certain components. Here are some common foods that may induce bloating:

1. Cruciferous Vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts.
2. Beans and Legumes: Lentils, chickpeas, black beans.
3. Dairy Products: Milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream.
4. Carbonated Beverages: Soda, sparkling water, beer.
5. Processed Foods: Packaged snacks, ready-to-eat meals, frozen foods.
6. Fried and Fatty Foods: French fries, fried chicken, fatty cuts of meat.
7. Artificial Sweeteners: Sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol.
8. Wheat and Gluten: Bread, pasta, pastries.
9. Onions and Garlic.
10. Apples and Pears.

Reducing or avoiding these foods, or consuming them in moderation, may help prevent bloating. Additionally, cooking methods (e.g., steaming vegetables) and proper hydration can ease digestion and reduce bloating triggers.

If you're experiencing bloating, there are several strategies you can use to relieve it:

1. Modify Your Diet: Avoid gas-producing foods, eat smaller portions, and chew slowly.
2. Physical Activity: Gentle exercises like walking or specific yoga poses can help.
3. Drink Herbal Teas: Peppermint, ginger, and chamomile teas can be soothing.
4. Stay Hydrated: Drinking water helps prevent water retention and supports digestion.
5. Try Over-the-Counter Remedies: Simethicone and probiotics might help.
6. Limit Salt and High-Sodium Foods: Reducing sodium can help prevent water retention.
7. Manage Stress: Techniques like deep breathing or meditation may help.
8. Avoid Carbonated Drinks: These can lead to trapped gas.

If bloating persists or is accompanied by more severe symptoms, it's important to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions.
