Meteorism and a swollen belly: here are the 3 things to do
You suffer from a swollen stomach and aerophagia, or bloating: sometimes you feel like you can’t eat anything that doesn’t cause you problems: if you are looking for a first “emergency kit” against bloating and a swollen belly , here are three things you should try to do as soon as possible.
1) NO TO FOODS THAT COMPROMISE DIGESTION: the first thing is to identify those foods that trigger bloating problems in you. The most controversial are foods that contain gluten, lactose and casein , because these molecules or the molecular complexes that compose them are problematic for digestion in many people. Other problems can be triggered with yeasts, or even with phytates, lectins, oxalates and saponins present in whole grains, potatoes, oil seeds and legumes. These are controversial substances for the bacterial flora, and often irritating to those who are already debilitated
The rule is: if a food bothers you in the intestine, eliminate it or reduce the quantity.
2) YES TO FENNEL AND BOSWELLIA SEEDS: fennel seeds and boswellia are particularly suitable for those suffering from meteorism but also irritable bowel syndrome. Boswellia Serrata extract has a notable antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory action (also for joint problems). Fennel seeds are great when used as a decoction.
3) TAKE TIME WITH FOOD: chew well, do not drink too much during meals, take time with food and try to listen to your body and its needs. Do not eat in a hurry, standing up, and if you are a stressed person, use herbal teas or natural supplements to reduce stress and improve sleep. These little things make a big difference to digestion and especially help reduce bloating. Once you have managed to eliminate episodes of acute inflammation, you will manage most foods much better without accusing bloating, but be careful: still avoid a diet too rich in sugars (including fructose) and starches , because it worsens digestion and alters the bacterial flora.
