You look six months pregnant (but aren\u2019t). Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/why-do-we-fart\/\">gas<\/a> is out of control. You might be bloated. And while you can easily brush it off as no big deal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/best-foods-for-bloating\/\">bloating<\/a> is uncomfortable, can affect your day (and even self-confidence), and may be a sign of a larger health problem. Here\u2019s your guide for why it\u2019s happening and what you can do to get rid of bloating for good.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-bloating\">What is Bloating?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The word \u201cbloated,\u201d is used to mean many things. You can feel bloated before your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/this-is-what-your-period-is-saying-about-your-health\/\">period<\/a>. You can wake up after a meal of pizza and beer bloated. Or, your stomach can stick out a bit after you\u2019ve chowed down on a big salad with lots of raw veggies. But what is bloating, really, and what does bloating feel like?<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cBloating is a condition that happens when your gastrointestinal tract gets filled up with air or gas,\u201d says gastroenterologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gutsygirlmd\/?hl=en\">Supriya Rao, MD<\/a>. \u201cYou feel full and if there\u2019s no more room in your stomach, and you can also visually see the effects of bloating. Patients will say that they look pregnant or their clothes feel tight,\u201d she explains.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>This type of bloating is different from when you feel puffy after retaining water, which can happen around your period or after eating a salty meal. With water retention, you may see a difference on the scale from extra water weight, and this type of bloating can affect your whole body (not just your abdomen). Abdominal distention, on the other hand, is a telltale sign of bloating from this buildup of gas in your GI tract.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bloating-vs-fat\">Bloating vs Fat<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the difference between bloating vs fat? Bloating is not the same as weight gain. Bloating is temporary, while weight gain will stick around, and you will see a measurable and lasting increase when you step on the scale.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bloating-symptoms\">Bloating Symptoms<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>It can often be tough to identify what your body is going through. If you\u2019re wondering \u2018how do I know if I\u2019m bloated?\u2019 here are several symptoms of bloating to watch for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Feeling of tightness, pressure, or fullness after eating<\/li><li>Abdominal distension (visible swelling in your belly)<\/li><li>Abdominal pain or discomfort<\/li><li>Gas or burping frequently<\/li><li>Stomach gurgling&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-causes-a-bloated-stomach\">What Causes A Bloated Stomach?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"838281\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #838281;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/what-causes-a-bloated-stomach.jpg\" alt=\"what causes a bloated stomach\" class=\"wp-image-30868 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Bloating is often a sign that something more is going on in your body that needs to be looked at, from medical conditions like irritable bowel syndrome to dietary habits, here\u2019s what causes bloating in the stomach:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ibs-and-bloating\">IBS and Bloating<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a condition that affects 20 percent of US adults, most often women who are younger than age 50, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealth.gov\/a-z-topics\/irritable-bowel-syndrome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Office on Women\u2019s Health<\/a>.

Certain eating habits and behaviors, such as drinking too much <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/long-term-effects-of-alcohol\/\">alcohol<\/a> or consuming too many processed foods, can contribute to gut dysbiosis, or an imbalance of good and bad gut bacteria. Taking a probiotic, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/6\/gut-instinct\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">HUM\u2019s Gut Instinct<\/a>, can boost good bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-small-intestinal-bacterial-overgrowth-sibo\">Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Another type of bacterial imbalance, SIBO is an overgrowth of the bacteria in the small intestine that creates more gas and can affect nutrient absorption, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/21820-small-intestinal-bacterial-overgrowth-sibo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cleveland Clinic<\/a>. \u201cFor whatever reason, bacteria from the colon proliferate in the small intestine, and when that happens, you can have diarrhea and bloating,\u201d says Dr. Rao. SIBO is common in people who have IBS.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lack-of-digestive-enzymes\">Lack of Digestive Enzymes<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Your body naturally contains a host of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/digestive-enzymes-to-stop-feeling-bloated\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">digestive enzymes for bloating<\/a> that help your body break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats you eat into energy, and these enzymes are also necessary for nutrient absorption and comfort after meals. Without enough of these enzymes, you\u2019re more likely to have bits of undigested food sitting around in your intestines, where they can ferment and cause gas, which is where you may notice bloating after eating.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>This is another time where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/23\/flatter-me\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">HUM\u2019s Flatter Me<\/a>, a blend of 18 full-spectrum digestive enzymes, plus ginger, peppermint leaf, and fennel seed, may help support healthy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-digestion-works\/\">digestion<\/a> to reduce bloating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-dominant-color=\"c5a76a\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #c5a76a;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/FLATTER-ME-digestive-enzyme.jpg\" alt=\"HUM Flatter Me Digestive Enzymes\" class=\"wp-image-30871 not-transparent\" width=\"601\" height=\"601\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-too-many-processed-foods\">Too Many Processed Foods<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>When it comes to bloating causes, you may notice that every time you have a busy season where you\u2019re relying too much on processed and fast foods, you experience bloating more often. Processed foods are a triple whammy on your digestion. First, they provide sodium that can cause water retention, so you feel puffy. They also typically have added sugar, which feeds the bad bacteria in your GI tract. Finally, they may contain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/best-and-worst-sweeteners\/\">sweeteners<\/a> that contribute to excessive gas and bloating. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/artificial-sweeteners-and-gut-health\/\">Artificial sweeteners<\/a> are a big culprit of bloating, specifically sugar alcohols, says Dr. Rao. \u201cWhen these sugar alcohols interact with gut bacteria, it can cause bloating,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-celiac-disease\">Celiac Disease<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Celiac disease is a digestive and immune disorder that\u2019s triggered by eating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/gluten-intolerance\/\">gluten<\/a> (the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/why-do-we-need-protein\/\">protein<\/a> found in wheat, rye, and barley), according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/digestive-diseases\/celiac-disease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases<\/a> (NIDDK). Over time, this damages the small intestine and can contribute to severe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/reasons-to-take-supplements\/\">nutrient deficiencies<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/digestive-diseases\/celiac-disease\/symptoms-causes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GI symptoms<\/a> include bloating, diarrhea, constipation, gas, foul-smelling stools, nausea and vomiting, and abdominal pain. Your doctor can test you for Celiac disease with a simple blood test.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-food-intolerances\">Food Intolerances<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You may be getting bloated because your body doesn\u2019t agree with what you\u2019re eating. Dairy\u2014or lactose intolerance\u2014is a common intolerance where you cannot completely digest milk sugar called lactose, leading to diarrhea, gas, and bloating, notes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/lactose-intolerance\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20374232\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mayo Clinic<\/a>. Similarly, non-celiac gluten sensitivity (an intolerance to gluten) can also leave you with bloating, gas, diarrhea\/constipation, as well as non-GI symptoms, such as headache, nausea, and brain fog, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondceliac.org\/celiac-disease\/non-celiac-gluten-sensitivity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Beyond Celiac<\/a>.

Though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/23\/flatter-me\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">HUM\u2019s Flatter Me<\/a> cannot fully fix bouts of overeating, it can help your body break down food and contains fennel seed, a common after-meal digestive.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-constipation\">Constipation<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Constipation is one of the most common causes of bloating, says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/gut-health-and-immune-system\/\">gut health<\/a> specialist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drheatherfinley.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heather Finley, DCN, RD<\/a>. Constipation is defined as having fewer than three bowel movements a week or stools that are hard, dry, or difficult to pass, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/digestive-diseases\/constipation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NIDDK<\/a>. You may also feel as if you\u2019re not having full or complete BMs. \u201cThat can cause you to go to bed bloated\u2014and also wake up bloated,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The longer stool hangs out in your colon, the longer bacteria is fermenting in your intestines, leading to more gas and painful bloating, says Dr. Rao. Addressing constipation with some of the remedies mentioned below, such as upping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/benefits-of-soluble-fiber-vs-insoluble-fiber\/\">fiber<\/a> intake, drinking more water, and fitting in more physical activity will help keep your stool moving so you can stay comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-acid-reflux-or-gerd\">Acid Reflux or GERD<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>We all get reflux every so often, like when you sit down to a large plate of pasta smothered in tomato sauce. Reflux happens when food and acid bubble back up into your esophagus, which can feel like heartburn, explains the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchicagomedicine.org\/conditions-services\/esophageal-diseases\/gastroesophageal-reflux-disease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of Chicago Medicine<\/a>. If it happens often, you may have GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, which can be serious and increases the risk of cancer. Along with heartburn, GERD causes other symptoms, such as bloating, chest pain, belching, nausea, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eating-too-fast\">Eating too Fast<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Digestion starts in the mouth, and one of the best things you can do to help out your GI system is to chew your food completely before swallowing, says Finley. You should be chewing your food to applesauce consistency and taking 15 to 20 minutes to eat, she recommends. Faster than that leaves your stomach with large pieces of food that cause bloating and make digestion more difficult and result in swallowing more air, creating the perfect recipe for bloating.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-foods-that-cause-bloating\">Foods that Cause Bloating<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Stomach bloating and pain may be because of perfectly healthy foods you\u2019re eating. And that can be completely normal. Let\u2019s say you ate a huge plate of broccoli and cauliflower\u2014bloating is a normal response to eating gas-forming cruciferous veggies, and your belly should deflate again in a couple of hours, or at least by the time you wake up after sleeping, says Finley. Other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/healthy-foods-that-cause-bloating\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">healthy foods that cause bloating<\/a> include raw veggies, garlic and onion, and beans. Some people even report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/does-coffee-make-you-bloated\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">coffee causing bloating<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-foods-cause-bloating\">What Foods Cause Bloating?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Broccoli<\/li><li>Cauliflower<\/li><li>Brussels sprouts<\/li><li>Onions<\/li><li>Garlic<\/li><li>Raw vegetables<\/li><li>Beans<\/li><li>Lentils<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/dairy-and-acne\/\">Dairy<\/a><\/li><li>Apples<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/are-cherries-good-for-you\/\">Cherries<\/a><\/li><li>Mangoes<\/li><li>Watermelon<\/li><li>Pears<\/li><li>Sparkling Water<\/li><li>Kombucha<\/li><li>Artificial sweeteners<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-period-bloating\">Period bloating<\/h3>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-period-bloating\">What is period bloating?<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>One of the symptoms of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/chasteberry-for-pms\/\">PMS<\/a> (btw, over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealth.gov\/menstrual-cycle\/premenstrual-syndrome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">90 percent of women<\/a> say they have PMS) is bloating. This type of bloating will predictably show up around your period. Tracking your cycle can help you prepare for PMS symptoms. If bloating is severe, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealth.gov\/menstrual-cycle\/premenstrual-syndrome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Office on Women\u2019s Health<\/a> says that you may consider diuretics (also called water pills). Talk to your doctor to find out if this is an appropriate option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-long-does-period-bloating-last\">How long does period bloating last?<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>Period bloating can last for one to two weeks before your period begins. It will typically subside in a day or two when your period begins. Some women may not experience bloating and some may only have it for a shorter time period.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-endometriosis\">Endometriosis<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Endometriosis is a gynecological condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus. This is painful, but to no fault of their own, many women chalk this up to regular period pains. It\u2019s not. Severe bloating is one symptom\u2014dubbed \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.endofound.org\/managing-endo-belly-severe-bloating\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">endo belly\u2019<\/a>\u2014but other symptoms include pelvic pain, painful intercourse, and infertility, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/wellness-and-prevention\/period-pain-could-it-be-endometriosis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Johns Hopkins<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stress\">Stress<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the biggest things people forget when they have bloating is to ask themselves if they are stressed,\u201d says Finley. For example, do you notice that you\u2019re constantly bloated during the week but not on weekends?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re stressed, your body will divert blood from your gut to the muscles in order to give your body the best chance at running away from the perceived threat. Of course, these days you can\u2019t run or hide from your inbox, but your body\u2014and GI tract\u2014reacts all the same. \u201cStress leads to lower saliva production, lower stomach acid production, lower enzyme output, and slower gut motility,\u201d Finley says. In addition, during times of stress, you may not be drinking enough water, eating healthy fiber-rich meals, and exercising\u2014all things that keep you regular.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-rid-of-bloating\">How to Get Rid of Bloating?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"afa296\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #afa296;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/how-to-get-rid-of-bloat.jpg\" alt=\"how to get rid of bloat\" class=\"wp-image-30873 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the number one thing you want to know: \u2018How to reduce bloating?\u2019 Often, it\u2019s not about the quick fix. \u201cMany times when clients come to me, bloating is their number one concern. So many things contribute to bloating and constipation. While they want to learn how to relieve bloating, you have to get to the root cause and address that first before symptoms resolve,\u201d says Finley. From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/what-vitamins-and-supplements-should-i-take\/\">supplements<\/a> to home remedies, here\u2019s what helps with bloating:<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-address-underlying-medical-issues\">1. Address Underlying Medical Issues.<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If you notice that you are bloated immediately after eating or bloat doesn\u2019t go away, you\u2019ll want to work with your doctor to uncover possible underlying medical issues for conditions like IBS, SIBO, or gynecological causes and seek treatment accordingly. Treating these issues is the only way to relieve bloating, but it will also help improve the range of symptoms that these conditions cause that can impact your quality of life so you can feel better in the long run.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-use-digestive-enzymes\">2. Use Digestive Enzymes.<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Enzymes can be helpful for some people depending on the underlying digestive issue, but since there are so many different kinds of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/best-digestive-enzymes\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">digestive enzymes<\/a>, it\u2019s helpful to ask your GI doctor about what they recommend specifically for you, says Finley.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>One good option is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/23\/flatter-me\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">HUM\u2019s Flatter Me<\/a>, one of the more common bloating remedies that users say has decreased episodes of post-eating bloating, diminished gas, and generally helps them feel better after eating.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>One note: Even though digestive enzymes can be a helpful supplement for bloating, you\u2019ll still want to practice other bloat-banishing tactics, such as eating slower, chewing more thoroughly, and avoiding foods that bother your stomach for max comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-incorporate-foods-that-reduce-bloating\">3. Incorporate Foods that Reduce Bloating.<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/best-foods-for-bloating\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">Certain foods<\/a> can help you feel better because they either work to flush out excess water in your body or naturally provide enzymes that aid in digestion. Try chewing fennel seeds after meals, incorporating papaya or pineapple as a dessert, and cooking with turmeric to see if any of those changes make you feel better.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-best-foods-for-bloating\">What Are the Best Foods for Bloating?<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>Reducing foods that cause bloat is one of your best bets if you find yourself impacted by food bloat, but these are some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/best-foods-for-bloating\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">best foods for bloating<\/a> that can also help eliminate your symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fennel seeds<\/li><li>Papaya<\/li><li>Pineapple<\/li><li>Peppermint tea<\/li><li>Turmeric<\/li><li>Asparagus<\/li><li>Bananas<\/li><li>Berries<\/li><li>Water<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-dominant-color=\"8bcf3e\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #8bcf3e;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/10-Best-Foods-To-Relieve-Bloating-Infographic.jpg\" alt=\"10 Best Foods To Relieve Bloating Infographic\" class=\"wp-image-30765 not-transparent\" width=\"691\" height=\"1036\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-try-probiotics-for-bloating\">4. Try Probiotics for Bloating.<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>When it comes to supplements for bloating, one of the most popular habits is popping a probiotic. The most important quality in a good probiotic is that yours contains the specific strain for your digestive condition, says Finley. Alone, a probiotic may not be the fix for bloating, since chronic bloating is often multifactorial and multiple causes need to be considered, she explains.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>However, you may find that you feel really good taking a probiotic. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/6\/gut-instinct\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">HUM\u2019s Gut Instinct<\/a> contains 10 strains of bacteria, including <em>Lactobacillus<\/em> and <em>Bifidobacterium<\/em> to promote a diverse microbiome and good digestion.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-eat-more-fiber\">5. Eat More Fiber.<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The majority of Americans don\u2019t get the fiber they need, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nutrition.org\/most-americans-are-not-getting-enough-fiber-in-our-diets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Society for Nutrition<\/a>. The recommendations differ depending on sex and age, but in general, women should aim for 25 grams of fiber per day and men should aim for 38 grams per day. Interestingly, too much fiber too soon can trigger a bout of bloating, so add higher fiber food sources into your diet gradually, recommends Dr. Rao. \u201cEating enough fiber helps regulate your BMs and prevents constipation,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Finley recommends aiming for eating<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/30-plants-per-week\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> 30 plants per week<\/a>, like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, beans, and legumes. Cooked vegetables are easier on your digestion compared to raw, so prioritize steaming or roasting, especially when you\u2019re upping your fiber intake in the beginning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-exercise-regularly\">6. Exercise regularly<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>How to stop bloating after eating? Get up and get moving: Physical activity encourages gut motility to keep things running, says Dr. Rao. A good walking routine is a great place to start. If you find that you get bloated, take a walk after dinner rather than retiring to the couch.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-consider-a-low-fodmap-diet\">7. Consider a low-FODMAP diet<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/what-is-a-low-fodmap-diet\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">low-FODMAP diet<\/a> is one where you temporarily eliminate high-FODMAP foods. FODMAPs are types of fermentable sugars such as fructose, lactose, fructans, galactans, and polyols that may trigger GI symptoms, such as bloating and gas, in some people, especially those with IBS.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The low-FODMAP diet is a type of elimination diet, though it\u2019s not one designed to be a permanent change. That\u2019s because it\u2019s rather restrictive and, at the outset, eliminates many good-for-you foods, including many fruits, dairy, beans, certain vegetables, and whole grains that contain wheat.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>With an elimination diet, the goal is to identify the foods and amounts that trigger GI symptoms and reintroduce the other foods in amounts that your body can comfortably digest. Staying on this strict diet for too long can negatively impact your microbiome, setting up a whole new problem, says Dr. Rao, so it\u2019s important to talk to a doctor or dietitian with knowledge of the low-FODMAP diet who can help walk you through it safely and effectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-prepare-your-body-for-digestion\">8. Prepare your body for digestion<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Managing stress and getting enough sleep are key for happy digestion. But if you\u2019re feeling especially keyed up after a rough day, one trick Finley suggests is humming \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d twice when you sit down to the table before eating. Doing so \u201cactivates the vagus nerve, which gets your body into its \u2018rest and digest\u2019 state faster so you can digest food easier,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-try-a-peppermint-or-ginger-tea-for-bloating\">9. Try a peppermint or ginger tea for bloating<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>What tea helps with bloating?<strong> <\/strong>Consider peppermint or ginger. \u201cGinger tea is amazing for bloating and constipation. You can drink this in between meals,\u201d says Finley. The rhizome has also been shown to decrease flatulence and reduce abdominal cramping, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6341159\/\">research shows<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In addition, peppermint tea can do the same if you like that flavor better. As for what to take for bloating, you can also purchase peppermint oil capsules over-the-counter, suggests Dr. Rao. \u201cThese can sometimes help with indigestion and bloating,\u201d she says, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mountsinai.org\/health-library\/herb\/peppermint\">peppermint<\/a> can calm stomach muscles and improve digestion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-takeaway\">The Takeaway<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve talked to your doctor and ruled out any underlying conditions that may be causing bloating, this quick bloating guide can help you remember some of the best ways to prevent bloating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Foods to
