If you are constantly dealing with bloated stomach, there are natural ways to solve that problem.
First, I will mention the top foods and reasons that trigger bloating.
Dairy products can cause gas and bloating, so try to limit the amount of consuming milk, cheese, yogurt, or switch to drinking coconut, almond, soy or flax milk.
Broccoli, cabbage and asparagus are very nutritious but they cause gas, because of raffinose, a sugar that is undigested until it gets to the large intestine. Eat these vegetables in moderation.
Beans contain oligosaccharide, a sugar that is not digestible by the body. You can soak dry beans before cooking them to help eliminate some of their sugars.
Apples and pears are fruits that are a rich source of soluble fiber. They cannot be tolerated by sensitive stomachs, but it does not mean this fruit needs to be entirely avoided.
When chewing or sucking gum and hard candy, you swallow more often, meaning you are swallowing more air. Gums and candies that include artificial sweeteners can cause gastrointestinal problems.
Salty foods include sodium that makes you preserve water. Lower the salt intake and make sure you do not consume more than 2300 mg daily.
Carbonated beverages such as soda and beer release carbon dioxide, which causes bloating.
The following 10 remedies have incredible digestive-healing properties and thus reduce the bloating shortly after taking them.
Stress, poor diet and not enough good bacteria in the gut cause bloating, constipation and gas. These conditions are not dangerous, but make you feel bad and uncomfortable.
