Introduction to bloating
Bloating is a problem that the many people face, and usually it is not a very serious one.
Usually, a person is bloated when they have eaten too much food or had too much to drink. When a person fills their stomach to the limit, the stomach fills up with gas and in this case, bloating will occur.
When a person is bloated, they will most likely have problems with burping and flatulence as well, and there can also be some stomach cramps involved, which could also cause discomfort.
A person who experiences bloating and excessive gas on the regular probably has a serious indigestion problem.
In this case, the person will most likely, not only be experiencing bloating, but constipation as well.
As mention earlier, over-eating is the main cause for this problem. However, also has a lot to do with what the person is eating.
Root vegetables, deep-fried foods, oily foods, beans and carbonated beverages are all foods and drinks that commonly lead to bloating.
Bloating can also be a symptom of different conditions, such as lactose intolerance and irritable bowel syndrome. Women often experience bloating just before they get their menstrual period as well.
In one of the worst-case scenarios, bloating can be a symptom of colon cancer. However, this is rare, and usually, bloating is the result of eating too much food too quickly. Treatment
Thankfully, there are things that people can do to get rid of their bloating problems.
However, most remedies for bloating will only be temporary, so it is of utmost importance to treat the cause and the root of the problem in order to get rid of bloating forever.
The main advice is to avoid all foods that cause a person to have an excess of gas build up in their stomachs.
Foods that produce gas such as cabbage, apples, beans and bran need to be avoided entirely.
However, these foods are healthy and full of fiber, so a person must start taking fiber supplements if they are going to stop eating such foods in order to treat their bloating problems.
For the best results, the foods should be excluded for a while and then slowly reintroduced in small portions once the bloating issues have been resolved.
Fast food, junk food and fried food must go, as well, obviously.
Bloating could also be caused by some type of food allergy. In this case, it is best to try and pinpoint what foods are causing this problem.
It is important to keep track of what you are eating in order to determine what the allergy is resulting from in your specific case.
Oftentimes, bloating is caused by lactose intolerance, and in this case, a person needs to completely avoid drinking milk and consuming all other dairy products, including cheeses and yogurts as well.
