Hi
Thanks for using Health Care Magic Forum,
Bloating may be related to:
Eating fatty foods. Fat delays stomach emptying and can increase the sensation of fullness
Stress or anxiety
Smoking
A
gastrointestinal infection, blockage or disease
Irritable bowel syndrome, a condition characterized by
abdominal pain or cramping and changes in bowel function
Conditions such as
celiac disease or
lactose intolerance in which the intestines aren't able to digest and absorb certain components of food
To reduce bloating, it may help to avoid or reduce the amount of gas-producing foods you eat. Many carbohydrates cause gas, and the following items are common culprits:
Baked beans
Broccoli
Brussels sprouts
Cabbage
Carbonated drinks
Cauliflower
Chewing gum
You can reduce
belching if you:
Eat and drink slowly. Taking your time can help you swallow less air. Also, avoid drinking through a straw.
Avoid carbonated drinks and beer. They release carbon dioxide gas.
Skip the gum and hard candy. When you chew gum or suck on hard candy, you swallow more often than normal. Part of what you're swallowing is air.
Don't smoke. When you inhale smoke, you also inhale and swallow air.
Check your dentures. Poorly fitting dentures can cause you to swallow excess air when you eat and drink.
Treat
heartburn. For occasional, mild heartburn, over-the-counter antacids or other remedies may be helpful. GERD may require prescription-strength medication or other treatments.
