How to Relieve Bloating With Food - Bloating

When you feel bloated, it is easy to see food as the culprit rather than the cure. Most advice also tells you what to avoid. However, it is possible to reduce bloating by using helpful foods that can reduce the gassiness and full feeling, as much as knowing which foods to avoid. This article provides some basics.

Steps
Try fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple contains bromelain and this is a digestion-promoting enzyme

Try fresh papaya. This contains papain, a digestive enzyme similar in function to bromelain, great for breaking down food and digesting proteins.

Munch on celery. Celery helps to relieve fluid retention because it is a diuretic. Try a handful each day until your bloating is under better control.

Choose asparagus. Asparagus encourages the growth of friendly gut bacteria. Friendly bacteria work to reduce the build-up of stomach gas.

Add yogurt to your daily diet. Yogurt brings helpful bacteria to your gut.
Season your food with freshly ground black pepper. Black pepper aids digestion and massaging the essential oil of black pepper on your stomach region can also help

Drink peppermint tea. Peppermint tea aids digesting by helping food pass through the stomach quickly. It also calms flatulence. Either pre-packaged peppermint tea in bags or fresh mint leaves will work.

Tips

Digestive bitters might help also.

Chamomile tea is also thought to aid digestion.
