So, what is bloating

To understand how to prevent and treat bloating, you need to understand the root cause. Most common causes of bloating are eating foods like soda, beer, salty items, fruits and vegetables and beans. Even taking in too much oxygen when you eat can cause bloating. When you eat, allow your brain to receive a signal from your stomach saying it is full. Eating slowly can help. Other causes include:

• Dehydration and not getting enough water
• Eating too much and/or too quickly
• Drinking through a straw
• Chewing gum
• Smoking
• Constipation
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Stress
