A bloated stomach can be caused by stress, diet, dehydration and a lack of fibre. Here a nutritionist shares her tips for beating the bloat
You're not expecting and you haven't just eaten a huge meal – so why do you have a bloated stomach?
According to Dr Riccardo Di Cuffa, director and GP at Your Doctor, even healthy foods, such as pulses, beans, broccoli, cabbage, chestnuts, onions and sprouts can cause uncomfortable bloating. 'Swallowing a lot of air can cause bloating, as can constipation. Some women experience bloating before their periods,' he says.Bloating can also be caused by other things that aren't necessarily related to your diet.
Nicola says: 'Our gut microbiome is very sensitive and certain medications and dietary choices can easily affect bacteria levels, so using a probiotic for 4 weeks can help to reset this. Probiotic supplements such as Optibac or ProVen are a stronger dose than a probiotic drink, and may be good as a boost while you make changes to your diet.'Fill up on fibre
High-fibre foods include fruit, vegetables, lentils, beans, nuts, seeds, whole grains, oats and potatoes with their skin on.'Dehydration can cause the digestive system to slow down and may cause bloating, so make sure you are getting at least 1.5 litres of water a day,' Nicola says.
