Why you should act to avoid bloating

There are social occasions at which everything should run smoothly. In addition to a proposal to your spouse, these include, for example, meetings, interviews and public appearances. In addition, passing your gas is, of course, unpleasant and far from classy, and can, especially if it occurs regularly, indicate an intolerance to a specific food or ingredient. In the case of a severe intolerance, it can even trigger depressive symptoms. Hence, it is worthwhile to know what you can do about it. To say it directly: medications are neither necessary nor advisable, since they sometimes contain the same substances that are causing your discomfort.

How do you get rid of bloating?

In one sentence: you can get rid of bloating by limiting the consumption of foods that cause it. It sounds easy, but first, you have to know the foods. Some of these, like beans, you already know. There are more though. It really is about certain food ingredients. Basically, there are four different types of potentially problematic ingredients, and there is a tricky twist to them. Everyone tolerates different amounts of them. That means the same amount of food can cause bloating for some people, but not for others. If you regularly suffer from bloating, this indicates that you are sensitive to one of these ingredients. If you consume it, instead of your body degrading it to gain energy, bacteria degrade these ingredients. The issue with that is that bacteria are less effective, and hence, gas is emerging from the process. Conversely, the less you feed the bacteria, the less you suffer from bloating. Therefore, it is sensible that you determine the amount you can tolerate for each of the ingredients and then find out how much is contained in the foods you eat on a regular basis.

What you can actually do

In the new guidebook, "The Nutrition Navigator", you will find a test with which you can determine the ingredient(s) that your body is unable to break down sufficiently. If you suffer from a food/ingredient intolerance, you will learn all you need to know about its background and consequences. In addition, you will find food lists containing the tolerable portion size for 1,111 products. With these, you will be able to correctly adjust your diet either permanently or temporarily before major life events.
