If you’re one of the unlucky people who are struggling with a bloated belly or grumpy gut on a daily basis, we feel for you! There’s nothing worse than having to trudge through the day with that feeling of heaviness after each meal. Not to mention it can really rip your confidence to shreds! How many times have you given up on wearing your favourite clothes just because your belly decided to bloat up?
The good news is that there are quite a few things you can do to turn things around and feel light on your feet again.
Here’s our guide to soothing a grumpy gut and get rid of that bloating that keeps you from being your best self each day!
Avoid certain foods
According to Healthline, there are certain foods that can make you feel very bloated, especially if you’re suffering from IBS. They contain high amounts of indigestible carbohydrates called FODMAPs. So if you’re constantly struggling with a bloated, painful belly, try eating less of these foods:
- Wheat
- Onions
- Garlic
- Broccoli
- Cabbage
- Cauliflower
- Artichokes
- Beans
- Apples
- Pears
- Watermelon
Stay active
You’ve heard this over and over, but living a sedentary lifestyle is one of the main causes of having a “lazy” digestive system. Don’t worry, you don’t have to turn the gym into your second home to achieve results.
Even a low-impact activity like a nice long walk, a brisk jog or a slow-paced bike ride can help deflate your belly. Any sort of movement helps expel gas that causes pain and boots digestion, so you just need to find something you enjoy.
