How to get rid of a bloated
Belly
A
bloated stomach can be a horror for any woman trying to fit into a smaller
dress size. Women are more likely to be stressed from
belly bloats because they can
cause a bigger stomach
bump making it look like they’re becoming fatter.
A bloated stomach or a distended belly is often caused by intestinal gas
that builds up in the bowels of the stomach. Belly
bloating should first be
checked out by your doctor to eliminate any chance of other health problems
such as irritable bowel syndrome.
For many people suffering from bloating and a distended belly after meals it
is often a diet related problem, but it can also be a painful experience and
you should look at reducing the causes of stomach bloating. Fatty foods are
often the cause of bloating of the belly as fat takes much longer to exit
the stomach and intestines. This is the reason why we often feel very full
after a high fat meal. There are however other causes of a bloated stomach,
these are:
-
An
infection or blockage in the G.I tract
-
Irritable Bowel Syndrome – should be checked by doctor to eliminate this
possibility!
-
Anxiety
or stress
-
Intolerance to lactose or other allergies to foods
-
Other
conditions such as Celiac disease which should be checked for
The changes in hormones just before a period can make any bloating of the
belly much worse due to the fluid retention often experienced at this time.
Stress of any kind will also make it harder for the body to digest a meal
properly, and this may produce more bloating of the stomach.
For some people, stomach bloating can be cured by eating the right kind of
foods, as well as limiting the amount of food eaten at each meal. A much
bigger meal or huge portions can make the experience of stomach bloating
much worse than smaller portions.
Here are some ways to reduce or eliminate stomach bloating:
-
Allow
sufficient time for each meal to digest before activity of any kind.
-
Drink
more water
-
Eat and
drink slowly
-
Try
eating Bio-live yogurt as the “good” bacteria may calm an inflamed stomach
(not if lactose intolerant!)
-
Any type
of fresh wholesome foods and ingredients can improve the problem of stomach
bloats, although make sure you’re not allergic to any new foods introduced
to the diet!
-
Try
cutting down on fatty foods and dairy produce to see if the bloating slows
more, but don’t always eliminate them completely without advice from your
doctor first.
-
Chewing
gum may cause more bloating so cut down on this if you chew gum a lot and
experience a bloating belly
You must seek approval from your doctor
before starting any new diet.
