How to Help Ease Bloating
Paul King | March 18, 2011Bloating can be quite an uncomfortable experience. You may also notice that bloating occurs in the mid or abdominal section and can make you feel as though none of your clothes fit the same way. Some other symptoms that coincide with bloating are abdominal pain and sometimes even bloating.
Because there is an increase in gas in your stomach you may also notice that when you are bloated you suffer from flatulence and belching as your body’s way of trying to rid itself of gas naturally. Cramps that are caused by bloating may also bring chest pain.
Now causes of bloating can be things like certain foods containing salts and also because you are not drinking enough water. Sometimes may even suffer bloating during different times in their menstrual cycles. And lastly lactose intolerance can be a factor because the stomach has a hard time digesting milk sugars.
Despite the fact that there are multiple over the counter aids you may want to consider a more natural remedy such as herbal teas which can be quite helpful in easing the pain associated with bloating. The best kind of herbal teas are basil, chamomile and peppermint. You can drink a glass of water that contains just a bit of clove oil each morning to reduce your chances of bloating.
Or for a treat you can boil water and add ground cinnamon. Of course you will want to wait until it has cooled off before drinking. To help with the bitter taste you can also add a touch of honey. Also remember to avoid soda and other carbonated drinks when bloated because this will only make the pain and pressure worse.
Drinking beverages too fast will only cause your stomach to fill with gas and also bring on a case of hiccups as well as bloating. Hard candies and even chewing gum should be avoided especially if you suffer chronic bloating.
It is also best to avoid foods that are high in fiber and other gas causing foods such as cabbage, broccoli and of course beans. Smoking can also cause bloating. By following these natural and easy remedies you will be able to significantly reduce bloating.
