Bloating Stomach

Sudden bloating of stomach can happen at any time. It can really take you by surprise. What causes this sudden stomach bloating?

Peppermint is a wonderful way to relieve a bloating stomach.

Having a bloated stomach is one of the most unpleasant symptoms I can think of. It strikes without warning, makes you feel fat and uncomfortable and brings with it a whole host of side-effects like gas and wind that certainly won’t make you popular at parties and social gatherings!

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.
