What causes bloated tummy
March 20, 2009
There are many reasons for feeling bloated. If you are a person suffering from constant constipation, the reason is not something else. Constipation often leads to bloating and general discomfort. Constipation can be effectively tackled by gradually increasing the intake of fibrous victuals. It is important that you increase the intake of fresh fruits, green vegetables, wholegrain cereals and bread, whole-wheat pasta, brown rice and beans in your daily diet.
The fiber-rich foods also help in feeling fuller for a longer period and thus effectively help in bringing down your hunger. If you want to lose weight, there is no better step to make than including more fiber in your diet. It is important that you drink a minimum of eight glasses of water daily. Increased water content in the diet helps in preventing constipation from getting worse.
Some foods are found to cause bloating. So it is advisable to bring down the consumption of such food materials. Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, sprouts, onions and garlic are considered as typical tummy bloaters.
Swallowing too much air also makes your tummy bloated. Talking at length while eating is a wrong practice as it lets in too much air into the tummy. Using straw while drinking fluids, chewing gums and drinking from a water fountain are but some wrong eating practices that ultimately lead to bloated tummies. It is advisable for people with bloated tummies to eliminate such practices as far as possible.
Fizzy drinks form yet another culprit. The gas content in them finally gets accumulated within your stomach and makes it bloated. The use of sweeteners instead of sugar is yet another wrong step that causes tummy bloating. The laxative effect of the sweeteners makes your tummy uncomfortable.
Food intolerance is yet another cause. However it is hard to diagnose the symptom as much of the physical irregularities that accompanies bloating such as fluid retention, headaches and fatigue are common to almost all digestive ailments.
