Stop Bloating by Removing the Cause

Bloating occurs when the gas accumulates in the intestine, but in quantities that are beyond normal. There is bloating caused by certain diseases or one that has nothing to do with any illness, but with a messy lifestyle. One of the reasons that favor the accumulation of these gases is related to incomplete digestion of food and swallowing a large amount of air during meals. Sensations they experienced from this process are: swollen belly sometimes accompanied by pain and difficulty breathing.

It is important to go to a gastroenterologist doctor to detect if there is a cause to this flatulence, as the sensation of bloating is also called, and if the diagnosis reveals a digestive problem that it must be treated.

The diet is essential

Starting from the question of one of our readers that often faced with feelings of bloating I decided to ask experts about the possibilities that we are at hand and that can help us get rid of bloating. Advice received from a physician specialized in diabetes, nutrition, metabolic diseases and internal medicine refers to changes in diet and to respect some essential rules of food hygiene.

“Flatulence has multiple causes, in general digestion. I advise as to the diagnosis of the disease that can underpin flatulence to respect some rules: eat 4-5 times/day, in small quantity, slowly and chewing well, not talking with food in your mouth, eat not too sweet or too salty food, consume food not too hot or too cold, use aromatic spices (dill, parsley, lovage, tarragon), do not drink fluids during the meal and replace mineral water and soft drinks with water, avoid vegetables and fruit with hard pulp (cabbage, radish, cucumbers, unripe fruits). Eat at fixed hours, to meet secretory reflexes”, urges Prof. Dr. Maria Mota.

These are not just advices they are rules and the best part is the next to the fact that you get rid of bloating you also get a weight loss diet that works.
