Bloated Belly? Fruit to the Rescue!

in Full articles

Fruit salad

In my last post I urged you to try a raw food diet to reduce your bloated belly.

Yesterday I found myself seriously suffering from a very large bloated belly. I actually felt utterly horrible—full of wind, lacking in energy, highly uncomfortable. Bleurgh!

I’m not sure what triggered it—I do generally seem to suffer a great deal after the weekend. I wonder if it’s to do with changes in my eating habits?

Does anyone else suffer more bloating after a weekend?

In any case, I decided to test the raw food theory. Here’s a quick snapshot I took on my iPhone of the lunch I prepared yesterday:

Bowls of raw fruit salad

Basically, I popped to the local grocers, bought a huge amount of fruit and chopped it all up in a bowl. I then added some natural probiotic yoghurt and ate the whole thing up!

I didn’t eat the whole thing in one sitting—that would be greedy—but I did eventually (over the course of the day) polish the whole lot off.

I think any fruit will do really, but for the record I threw in banana, apple, pear, blueberries, red and green grapes, kiwi, plum and a few bits of satsuma too.

Yum!

I’m really pleased to say that eating all that raw fruit definitely has had a major effect on my bloated belly.

Within a couple of hours I felt much more comfortable, my belly had reduced dramatically in size and I generally felt full of life. Better in fact than I’d felt for ages! Even today I still feel really great.

If you’re suffering from a bloated belly, you must definitely try eating a whole heap of raw fruit salad!

Hi Phil – for me, it’s because I think my system gets totally clogged with stuff it can’t handle, like too much processed stuff, also bread particularly. I find that a good dose of fresh fruit pushes it all out of my system, gets things moving so to speak! I try not to eat fruit with anything else, leave a good hour before and after eating anything else. Eating fruit with other food is often a surefire way to setting bloating off in my experience.

Hope that helps, thanks for dropping by.
