Bloating can be uncomfortable, it makes it hard to get into your pants and then to sit in them.
It causes stomach cramps and indigestion.
This condition can be worsened by prepackaged foods and all of the fast foods we eat, because we are to busy to make a home cooked meal.
It seems that digestive disorders are becoming more and more common.
It is important to see your doctor to find out if there is an underlying medical condition causing your bloating.
Otherwise here are some tips designed to help keep the bloating at bay.
Limit gas producing foods - cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, beans and other vegetables that contain lactose can cause gas.
Instead of eliminating these healthy and beneficial foods from your diet, learn how much of them your body can handle and see if taking a product like "Beano" can help reduce the amount of gas these foods create.
Avoid carbonated drinks - I think that this one is relatively self explanatory.
Instead, drink a lot of water.
Don't eat large meals -Instead eat 5 or 6 small meals through out the day.
Make sure that you chew your food well and eat slowly.
This will keep your stomach from getting too full and reduce the chance of bloating.
Get some exercise - When you exercise it helps your intestines move properly.
If you are feeling bloated, take a brisk walk.
It will do wonders for you.
Chew gum sparingly -when you chew gum, it is easy to swallow air.
This can cause excess gas in your stomach.
Be aware of the sugar substitutes in foods -Sugar substitutes like Sorbitol, Malitol and the like can cause gas, stomach pain and diarrhea if you are sensitive or eat to much of it.
Carefully find out what your limits to these additives are.

When you are relaxed your body can perform the tasks it needs to more easily.
