Can Abdominal bloating go away on its own?
Last updated September 7, 2026.
**Yes, abdominal bloating can go away on its own, especially when it follows a large meal or temporary gas buildup.** Your next steps depend on the cause and whether you have other symptoms. Constipation or trouble digesting certain foods can keep bloating coming back until you address the cause. Eating slowly, choosing smaller meals, and limiting carbonated drinks can help. If your bloating persists or returns regularly, a clinician should assess it.
What to do
- **Adjust your meals:** Eat smaller portions and chew slowly to reduce swallowed air.
- **Limit extra gas:** Skip carbonated drinks and chewing gum.
- **Keep moving:** Take a walk to help ease bloating.
- **Track your triggers:** Record what you eat and when bloating starts to identify patterns.
- **Address constipation:** If you are constipated, ask a pharmacist or clinician about treatment.
- **Arrange an evaluation:** Contact a clinician if your bloating persists or keeps returning.
