bloating foods

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.

I was interested to watch a recent edition of Good Morning America, which had a slot on the problem of bloating.

While I had a hard time trying to not to chuckle at the overly loud presenter (shouting and barking at poor Dr. Oz, the guest), the clip is otherwise really informative! With the aid of a rather graphic animation (eurgh!), Dr. Oz explains 4 simple bloating remedies that everyone can try.

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:

Raw food, juice drink and appleAs 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.

Is Your Bloated Belly Due to Water Retention?

I’ve talked a lot on this blog about bloating being due to excess gas caused by fermentation of undigested food. That is often the case, true. But as you might know all too well, the causes of bloating can be various and complex. One major cause of bloating I haven’t touched on is water retention. [...]
