Bloated After a Night Out? 8 Surprising Reasons Why (and What Actually Helps) (Episode 38)
Always Bloated After a Night Out? Here’s What To Do Before, During and After to Fix It: https://www.patreon.com/TheInnerScript/posts/172810553
Ever wake up after dinner and drinks feeling bloated, puffy, uncomfortable, and wondering what you did wrong? The answer may not be the one cocktail or the meal you ate. In this solo episode of The Inner Script, Stephanie Baubie, NP breaks down the “pile-up” behind bloating after a night out, including food, alcohol, carbonation, stress, nervous system stimulation, poor sleep, and where you are in your menstrual cycle. Steph explains the gut-brain connection, why highly sensitive women may notice physical sensations more intensely, and why your emotional state can affect how your gut feels.
Most importantly, she shares practical things you can do before, during, and after a night out without restricting, detoxing, or giving up the experiences you enjoy.

- You regularly feel bloated or puffy after dinner and drinks.
- You’ve blamed one food or cocktail without considering what else may be contributing.
- You notice your digestion gets worse when you’re stressed, anxious, or overstimulated.
- You want to enjoy nights out without fearing how you’ll feel the next morning.
