8 Fast And Natural Ways To Finally Get Rid Of Your Bloated Tummy

Feeling bloated is no joke! It’s uncomfortable and you’re constantly swollen and gassy. We’ve got solutions on how you can effectively reduce your bloat.

November 3, 2016

Feeling bloated is the worst! Not only do you feel like a puffer fish, bloating is also associated with distention, which is when you physically look bigger than you really are. Basically, if it seems like you magically gained weight in a matter of hours or you feel like you’re going to pop, it’s safe to say you’re probably bloated. These are the most likely reasons you’re feeling all puffed up and some easy ways to resolve your problem:

8 Fast And Natural Ways To Finally Get Rid Of Your Bloated Tummy
1. You Use Artificial Sweeteners

If you think you’re doing yourself a favour by using artificial sweeteners instead of real sugar, cut it out now! Our bodies can’t absorb sugar alcohols like sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, and more, so they will stay in the gut, draw fluid in, and cause gas.

2. You Eat Too Much Salt

If your fingers swell up after you eat potato chips, all that salt is the likely culprit behind your bloat. Consuming high amounts of sodium can cause your body to retain water. A quick fix for this problem? Lay off the salty foods for a bit and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!

3. You Eat Too Fast

Eating too fast can cause bloating for a couple of reasons. Firstly, your stomach can only accommodate so much, so if you’re eating a lot in a little amount of time, you’ll be overloading your digestive system. Also, all that air you’re consuming can become trapped in your stomach and lead to that swollen feeling.

4. You Have A Food Allergy Or Intolerance

Dairy and wheat can puff you up so if this happens to you, check to see that you don’t have a food allergy or intolerance. If your eating habits haven’t changed but you’re suddenly bloated every single day, you could be reacting to small-chain carbohydrates that are found in a bunch of healthy foods and can be hard for our GI tracts to handle.

5. You Drink Sparkling Water

Avoid drinking sparkling water because all this does it fill your tummy up with even more gas. More gas equals a greater feeling of bloatedness so lay off the fizzy and opt for a glass of still mineral water instead.

6. You Don't Move Enough

When you’re puffed up, getting moving can help your digestive system to get moving too. The colon actually benefits from not being stationary all day. So even if you’re sitting at your desk, getting up every hour will help your whole body stay active to beat the bloat.

7. You Eat Too Much Fibre

Fibre is an essential nutrient for digestive health. But if you suddenly start eating a bunch of fibre like there’s no tomorrow it may actually backfire, causing you more gastrointestinal stress, which leads to gassy bloating. If you’re feeling swollen, try to cut back on your fibre intake and drink plenty of water.

8. You're Not Going To The Toilet Frequently

Waking up bloated is actually pretty normal as our bodies are sedentary for at least 7 to 8 hours while we sleep overnight but you should go to the bathroom as soon as you wake up to expel everything. If you’re having a little trouble getting things to move down there right, have a cup of coffee to activate your digestive system.
