Relieving bloating is a very unpleasant sensation that arises not only from overeating but also from other gastrointestinal issues. Sometimes bloating can be unrelated to what a person has eaten. WebMD shares information on products that can alleviate bloating.
Avocado
These fruits are rich in potassium, which is necessary for the body to control sodium levels. Sodium, in turn, regulates the amount of water you consume. The better this connection works, the lower your risk of bloating.
Bananas
These fruits are also an excellent source of potassium. One study showed that women who ate bananas before each meal experienced less bloating compared to those who did not. Experts believe that bananas deliver certain gut bacteria that help soothe gas formation in the stomach.
Celery
Add a bit of celery to your food to increase hydration and improve digestion. As a bonus, celery also contains certain flavonoids (the smallest plant molecules) that reduce inflammation in the body, including in the stomach.
Turmeric
This spice, which gives curry its yellow color, contains a large amount of curcumin. Research shows that curcumin can ease IBS symptoms, alleviate discomfort, regulate the digestive system, and reduce abdominal bloating.
Peppermint
Studies show that peppermint helps relax the muscles of the digestive system. This helps pass gas and reduces abdominal bloating. Peppermint tea can have a calming effect.
Ginger
The spicy taste of ginger stimulates the secretion of gastric juice. This improves digestion and helps the stomach empty faster, preventing bloating.
Tomatoes
A diet that includes tomatoes enriches the body with lycopene, an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory effects on the entire body. Tomatoes are also rich in potassium, which reduces the sodium levels that cause abdominal bloating in the body.
Kefir
Some studies show that consuming kefir, a fermented beverage, eliminates gas in the stomach by as much as 70%.
