stop bloating

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.

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.
