I want to start this by saying there’s no magic

I want to start this by saying there’s no magic pill or detox you can do once you’re bloated, sorry. It’s frustrating and It can uncomfortable or maybe you had an outfit planned that now you don’t want to wear, but we are going to cover body image and bloating in another post ❤️.

Let’s look at some simple things you can try when you’re feeling bloated or a little bit uncomfortable to help ease the Bloat or maybe get digestion started 💩

Don’t skip a meal to reduce bloating - this sets bad dietary habits and the next time you eat you will more likely over eat and eat too quickly which in turn will make you more bloated

Eat foods that you know sit well - things like legumes are sooo healthy for us but they might cause a little bit of bloat, if you’re already feeling uncomfortable choose something else. It could be a chicken salad sandwich ☺️ whatever feels right for you. If you have IBS and know your trigger foods take caution to avoid them. & remember to chew your food.

Sip on peppermint tea or try peppermint oil tablets. - there is during evidence for peppermint oil with bloating and IBS, the peppermint tea might be more placebo and could be due to the relaxing nation of having tea without caffeine.

Drink water!!! Make sure you’re drinking enough water across the day. A big cause of bloating is being constipated & dehydration is a common cause of constipation.

Movement. I spoke about this last time if we aren’t moving our body it is more likely the gas will get trapped making us bloated, exercise can also help with digestion (again great if you’re constipated) try yoga, cycling, walking or gentle Pilates.

Wear loose clothing, you don’t want to add more pressure on that area.

Check in on your stress levels and sleep pattern. Do a quick mediation, journal, paint, read. This is related to the gut brain axis where stress can cause GI upset.
