Other Remedies to Decrease Bloating May Include:

  • Steaming Vegetables: For certain individuals, consuming raw vegetables may lead to bloating. However, steaming them can preserve their nutrients, minerals, and fiber, potentially enhancing digestive health. Warm, wholesome foods are thought to aid in reducing bloating more effectively than cold foods and water.


  • Exercise: Whether it be a bike ride, jog or going to the gym, staying active is key to expelling gas.


  • Conscious Eating Habits: The manner in which we consume food can potentially lead to gas; This includes being conscious of our diet and maintaining awareness of the contents on our plate, including the food order.

    YES I KNOW! Even the way you eat food might be a problem lol. Research indicates that consuming high-fiber vegetables at the beginning of a meal can improve blood sugar control. However, eating foods in a non-sequential manner may result in increased gassiness.


  • Manage Fiber Consumption: Excessive fiber intake can lead to bloating, and insufficient fiber can cause the same issue. It is recommended that 25 grams daily from food is necessary.


  • Warm/Room Temperature Water: Warm water is considered more beneficial than cold for alleviating bloating and enhancing digestion. Cold water can decelerate the digestive process, leading to bloating, cramps, and gassiness. Consuming warm or hot water, such as tea, may help prevent bloating and support weight loss, particularly when ingested at the beginning of the day.
