Tips to Cure Abdominal Bloating [3]
Abdominal bloating is a condition in which the abdomen feels uncomfortably full and gaseous, and may also be visibly swollen (distended). Bloating is a common complaint among both adults and children.
We’re not talking about extra pounds of stomach fat here. We’re talking about the temporary abdominal distention that plagues most everyone from time to time.
Many people suffer from bloating. It can be very uncomfortable. Luckily, there are several ways that you can change your diet or lifestyle to improve or eliminate it. If these solutions don’t help, consult a doctor for advice.
7. Rebalance your gut bacteria with probiotics.
Probiotic supplements contain yeasts and bacteria that are similar to those that are in a healthy gut. These bacteria assist with digestion. They may be able to lessen bloating due to:
Diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, difficulty digesting fiber.
8. Be active, especially in the mornings
Your digestive tract may need some stimulation or stretching to get moving. If your system is operating sluggishly, it definitely means bloating. If possible, make a point to get some kind of exercise in the morning. Better yet, before you get out of bed, stretch to relax your belly and wake up your digestive system.
Bloating problems mid-day can be relieved by exercise such as brisk walking.
9. Lower your fiber consumption.
Though fiber is healthy and helps move foods along your digestive tract, it can also increase the amount of gas in your bowels. High fiber foods include whole-grain breads, brown rice, whole-wheat, and bran.
If you have recently changed your diet to include more fiber, either by taking supplements or switching to whole-grain foods, consider easing into your new diet more slowly. Reduce the amount of fiber you are eating and then slowly increase it again. This will give your body a chance to adjust.
