Flatulence - Indigestion

Suffering from indigestion or commonly "bloating" in the stomach?

We've all been in this situation: We've enjoyed our meal but soon after the bloating reminds us that maybe we overdid it with our favorite food... Belly bloating is common and most of the time it's due to something simple , such as intolerance to some foods, overeating, indigestion or some sweeteners.

But what are the causes of bloating and swelling?

Fats, sugars and carbohydrates 

Fried food, trans fatty acids, ready - fast food, processed and packaged food, sweet and salty  foods based on white flour and sugar, are some of the "culprit foods" that create the problem. Also excessive consumption of salt, because it causes fluid retention, as well as taking a lot of low-quality carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates (white bread, sweets) enter the blood quickly and cause fluid retention, unlike complex carbohydrates (whole grains, fruits and vegetables), which do not work that way. 

Carbonated drinks

Carbonated soft drinks, drinks such as beer or champagne, although they give the feeling of digestion, usually cause bloating. When you drink them, they can fill up your digestive system, and once the gas reaches your intestines, it stays there until it's released. Avoiding them and replacing them with water is recommended. 

Dairy

Milk, cheeses and ice cream can cause gas, abdominal pain and bloating if your body is lactose intolerant. It is therefore a good idea, if you know that you are lactose intolerant, to avoid dairy products or choose those products that do not contain lactose.

Digestive disorders
 
Chronic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome are some of the digestive tract problems associated with abdominal swelling and bloating

Swallowing air while eating 

Did you know that the faster you eat, the more air you swallow? And  just like with drinks, when air passes into your gut, it can make you feel bloated. So eating slowly is important for two reasons: We don't fill our stomach with air but we give enough time for the brain to perceive the satiety of the stomach.
