You may know that stomach bloating is most often caused by undigested food. For whole heap of possible reasons, your body doesn’t digest certain types of food.
These then sit in your gut, fermenting away. This causes the gas which pumps your stomach up like a balloon and makes you feel all icky.
One of the reasons food doesn’t easily digest is because we eat the wrong kinds of foods together at the same time.

Regular readers will know I keep repeating the mantra: you must find out the causes of your bloating before having a hope of being able to relieve the symptoms.
With stomach bloating, prevention is most definitely better than cure. Knowing what food or habits set off your own symptoms, and avoiding them, is the best way to relieve your bloated belly.
Having said that, sometimes you just need instant relief. I know, I know!
So, if you’re really suffering, here are some simple exercises I often try. They’re easy to do, aren’t in the least bit strenuous, and never fail to relieve my bloating.

I’ve talked many times on this blog about the kinds of bloating foods to avoid. I’m sure you’re aware of many of these anyway: wheat; dairy; certain beans, fruits and vegetables; fizzy soft drinks and food containing sorbitol can all have you bloated up faster than you know it.
What you may not know is there are actually anti bloating foods that actively help reduce bloating! Amazing isn’t it?
Here’s a rundown of 5 of the best:

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:

As I’ve mentioned many times, much stomach bloating is caused by undigested food remaining in your gut, which ferments and produces the gas which blows your stomach up.
Eating raw food (such as salad, fruit, nuts and seeds) is often recommended.

Hi everyone, and hope you all had a great weekend!
We had a party for a friend’s birthday and had a great time. If yours was anything like my weekend, you also maybe had an alcoholic drink or 2?
Most likely you’re now feeling the effects in the form of a swollen stomach and excess gas caused by bloating. I know alcohol can not only cause a swollen stomach but also a bloated face, swollen lips, puffy eyelids and even broken veins in hardened drinkers!
Add to that flatulence, excess gas and loose stools and… well… it can make you feel uncomfortable and unattractive that’s for sure.
