Flatulence can occur in anyone. No, it is not weight gain, but it can still make you feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. Bloating can prevent you from eating well, make you feel less motivated, and so on. The good news: It is possible that the effects of bloating can be treated quickly. However, it can be difficult to find the cause after bloating, because there are several possibilities:
1. You have a lack of fiber
Lack of fiber in your diet increases the chance of constipation, which causes gas and bloating. Consume fruits rich in carbohydrates, vegetables, cereals, beans, etc.
2. You are eating foods that cause gas
Some healthy foods, such as beans and certain vegetables, contain complex sugars that the body cannot digest. When those sugars reach the large intestines, the bacteria inside destroy them and cause fermentation, gas and bloating.
Some people are more capable of tolerating these foods than others. If you notice that beans, legumes or some vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, onions or garlic, are the cause for you, then stay away.
3. Drink plenty of fizzy drinks
This is also one of the most popular causes. Fizzy drinks cause bloating, but in some people this bloating is much greater than in others.
4. You are drinking a lot of alcohol
Too much alcohol means bloating, weight gain and dehydration. Having said that, you do not have to give up drinking drastically, but simply do not overdo it.
5. You may have a gastrointestinal health problem
If you are bloated all the time and can not understand the cause, consult a gastroenterologist. Instead of trying to diagnose yourself, talk to a doctor.
6. Eat very fast
When you eat fast, you swallow air and air bubbles can cause bloating, gas and uncomfortable sensations. Also, eating too fast can lead to overeating. If you eat too fast, slow down digestion. Squeeze the food slowly and enjoy.
7. Have lactose intolerance
For some people, dairy products like milk, yogurt, cheese and ice cream can cause bloating because they cannot digest lactose into milk sugar. If you are lactose intolerant, avoid these foods or find other alternatives to them. Talk to a doctor.
8. Eat large amounts of food immediately
When you eat properly throughout the day, your body finds it easier to process carbohydrates and fiber, fat and other nutrients. The moment you eat only dinner, as for 3 meals, the body will not react well.
9. Increase the amount of fiber very quickly
Large increases in fiber intake, which can come when you follow the "fashionable" diets, when you take too many fiber supplements, etc., can shake your system, leaving you bloated.
10. You are not eating enough
Talk to your dietitian or slowly increase the portion size to see if it helps - not to overdo it, but also not to eat less than your body needs.
