The Best Way To Ease Bloat and Soothe GI Upset After A Bad Meal

-

 


It's no surprise many of us experience bloat around the holidays. Between talking with family at the dinner table, sitting for extended periods of time, drinking alcohol, and consuming sugary, high-carb foods, this holiday is the perfect storm for gastrointestinal upset.

Here are some potential reasons you may experience bloat around the holidays:

  • You're eating more food than you usually do, and it isn't moving through your digestive system and out of your body at the ideal pace.
  • You're eating in a more social setting with lots of talking (you know, as one does during holiday dinner parties) and are swallowing too much air, causing gas to accumulate in your stomach.
  • You're eating holiday foods that your small intestine has a more difficult time digesting (e.g., high-FODMAP foods like apples, dairy, asparagus, wheat, garlic, onion, honey), so they moved along the GI tract to be fermented in the large intestine (aka colon). Gas has now accumulated as a byproduct of the bacteria's fermentation process. 
Don't worry, we're going to let you in on a science-backed nutrition secret that can help soothe your stomach and ease unwanted bloat (today, and throughout the holiday season): a daily fiber supplement.

How fiber supplements can help ease gas & bloat

Mechanically speaking, fiber "gets things moving" by adding bulk to stool and promoting gut motility. If you don't consume adequate fiber to support healthy stool formation, food can sit in your stomach for extended periods of time and lead to GI upset.Mechanically speaking, fiber "gets things moving" by adding bulk to stool and promoting gut motility.

According to a 2015 study published by the Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology, guar bean fiber effectively reduces colonic transit time and increases the frequency and quality of bowel movements—all of which can help ease bloat and gas. What's more, a 2016 randomized clinical trial from Nutrition & Metabolism found that 6 grams of guar fiber per day significantly reduced bloating and gas for individuals with gastrointestinal health issues.

When an individual's immune system has been severely compromised, they are considered to have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Blood, sperm, vaginal fluids, and breast milk can all pass HIV from one person to another. The most crucial element in lessening the severity of HIV's symptoms is early discovery, which allows for quicker treatment. It is crucial for males to be aware of these symptoms because the signs of HIV and AIDS can occasionally be mistaken for those of other illnesses.
