Six Keys to Combat Bloating

* Reduce your intake of fiber. Simply reducing the intake of whole grain foods such as bread, breakfast cereals and biscuits and fiber supplements.
* Do not include flatulent vegetables. There are vegetables that contain aromatic compounds that the body is unable to digest and generate gases. The most problematic are: artichokes, peppers, onions, especially raw, cucumbers, and vegetables from the cabbage family.
* Should not get a lettuce salad. Its high content of insoluble fiber (the white parts of the trunk) is what causes the uncomfortable bloating. Check to you, and do not include two weeks lettuce in salads. Use other vegetables: tomatoes, carrots, sprouts, corn, beets or spinach.
* Yogurt for dessert. The abdominal swelling can be caused by imbalances in intestinal flora. The consumption of yogurt, full of lactic acid bacteria such as those in our gut, for dessert, can be a good digestive.
* Supplement of fructooligosaccharides (FOS). The FOS is an excellent substrate for beneficial bacteria (bifidobacteria), so a supplement taken on an occasional basis may help reduce discomfort and bloating.
* Effective digestive infusions. Fennel, anise, chamomile and licorice have digestive and carminative properties, ie favoring the expulsion of the gases that are produced after digestion. The mixture of several plants may be the best remedy to take in place of coffee, either a dessert or between meals.
