Feeling bloated or puffed up can put a real damper on your day, not to mention the fact that it hurts! I don\u2019t want to have clothes that fit too tightly on those bloated-stomach days, and my stomach sounding like the worst of all orchestras, which is the last thing you want in a quiet office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What can we who have sensitive stomachs bear in mind to avoid bloating?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Reduce or completely avoid foods that cause gas<\/strong>.<\/strong> What causes the most gas in your body is something you have to work out by keeping a food diary. For me and for many others, it\u2019s primarily about onions, cabbage and pulses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fibre is obviously healthy and, if you want to live a healthy life, wholegrains are a good choice. However, if you\u2019re not really used to brown rice, wholemeal bread, and so on, your stomach may well react and get bloated. So, start carefully with fibre and increase your intake of wholegrain products gradually<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stop chewing gum or sucking throat lozenges<\/strong>. When you do those things, you swallow a whole lot of air that ends up in your stomach and creates trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eliminate sweeteners<\/strong>. Especially sugar alcohols like Xylitol, Sorbitol and Erythritol. Throat lozenges and energy bars often contain these variants. Sugar alcohols are poorly absorbed by our digestive tract and circulate freely instead, becoming food for our intestinal bacteria. It may sound fine, but when the bacteria chew on the sugar alcohols, large amounts of gas are created \u2013 not great for how the stomach feels!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eat regularly<\/strong>. Snacking or excessively long intervals between meals often create an upset and bloated stomach. It\u2019s useful to aim to eat every 3\u20134 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stop drinking sparkling water<\/strong> and other carbonated drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you eat in front of the computer or the TV? Stop doing that!<\/strong> When you focus on something else, you can easily end up gulping your food down, which means you also take in lots of air. There\u2019s no doubt you\u2019ll feel the difference in that you get more bloated after a lunch eaten in a rush than if you ate slowly and in relaxed fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exercise!<\/strong> Exercise keeps the intestines moving, and gases move along and OUT. Stomach ache and abdominal pains may often be air that is static and pushing against the walls of the digestive tract. A stomach that is sensitive will feel that much more intensely than one that is less so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is useful to remember that our body shape can change a lot, purely owing to what we ate a few hours ago. During the night we will have broken wind while we slept (what our partner asleep next to us doesn\u2019t know can\u2019t hurt them!), which is why the stomach usually feels settled and flat in the morning. If you bear the above tips in mind, your stomach will go on being settled and flat for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Reshaping your body takes time and requires hard work, consistency and discipline in terms of both diet and exercise.
