Bloating is like the feeling of an enlarged belly after consuming heavy food. It is caused by a disorder of the movement of muscles near the digestive system. For the same reason you may feel pressure and discomfort, which leads us to think that our stomach is bigger. However, bloating can also be caused by illnesses that developed from poor nutrition or the use of some ingredients that our body reacts poorly to.
How to reduce or eliminate gas in our body?
Some people who suffer from flatulence are more prone to illness and have more sensitive stomachs. In this case the priority should be to consume small portions of food to prevent bloating.
First of all, it is necessary to exclude all foods that your body reacts badly to. Food allergies and intolerances can be the cause of flatulence. In most cases it is lactose, wheat, gluten or eggs. Drinks that are carbonated with carbon dioxide play a significant role in the development of flatulence.
You can try the FODMAP diet, which helps you avoid unhealthy carbohydrates. These can worsen symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. That is one of the most common digestive system diseases in the world. Foods you should avoid include:
- Wheat
- Onion, garlic
- Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower
- Apples, pears
- Watermelons
Be careful with sugar alcohols as well. These can contribute to gas production, especially if you indulge in alcohol too often. Pay attention to labels to avoid problems.
You can also take dietary supplements
Dietary supplements can be useful in this case because they help digest specific nutrients. Increase your magnesium intake and add exercise to get your muscles moving. Constipation can further worsen the symptoms of bloating, so it is good to prevent it.
The use of probiotics is already recommended for small babies if they suffer from tummy aches. They also help adults reduce gas production in the digestive system.
