3. Avoid Fast, Fatty Foods
It may be that, if you have been bloated for a while you could actually be rather hungry despite this. Not all bloating is due to excess food lying in the gut awaiting expulsion. You may be feeling sorry for yourself and tempted to ingest your favorite junk meal treat. Resist this temptation.
Greasy, oily, and salty foods such as burgers and fries can upset your tummy. These are not the kind of good fats such as Omega-3 or Omega-6 that you want to be infesting. These bad fats are saturated and contain trans-fatty acids that inflame your digestive tract. When your digestive tract becomes irritable, it will try to expel the food. It will also rebel in the ways it knows how often by going into cramp mode or emitting large amounts of gas.
We are naturally attracted to junk foods at times of feeling low because unfortunately certain compounds in these foods also mimic the effect of the feel-good hormones in the brain. It helps to remember that the brain’s reward system is only stimulated while you’re eating, often causing you to overindulge and making your bloat symptoms even worse.
