*BUSTING THE BLOAT*

Bloating is usually accompanied by abdominal distension or outward swelling.
Other signs include a hardening of the stomach, excessive flatulence, constipation and cramps.

*Why* do we bloat?
Eating certain foods, drinking carbonated drinks, constipation, a sluggish gut or gut sensitivity caused by stress or anxiety.

Organs in the digestive system become stretched and you feel bloated.
Sometimes dairy products, pulses like beans, chick peas, lentils, spinach, cauliflower, onion and cabbage can also cause bloating.

Apples are filled with fructose and can cause bloating.

Avoid these foods for a period of time if you feel bloated.

Lactose, fructose and gluten can cause food intolerances.

Try and pinpoint what triggers your feeling of bloating and don’t consume those foods for a period.

Cucumber helps to flush out sodium and helps with bloating.
