As per Anjali Mukerjee, “Bloating is a condition where your belly feels full and tight, often due to excess gas. This abdominal discomfort is not just limited to post-feast situations. It can occur even when you have not eaten a large meal. It is often accompanied by pain, excessive gas (flatulence), frequent burping, or abdominal gurgling.”
“Food sensitivities like gluten, dairy, shellfish, food colorings, corn, soy, or peanuts” are the common causes of bloating, she explains. “You may also be dealing with hypochlorhydria (low levels of stomach acid), which affects digestion and can result in undigested food particles in your stool,” adds the nutritionist.
Anjali Mukerjee advises to “consume the following to reduce gas and flatulence” soon after finishing your meal. “This combination helps in relieving bloating and discomfort,” she reveals.
½ tablespoon of Shunthi (ginger powder)
½ pinch of hing (asafoetida)
½ tablespoon of rock salt
½ tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in 1 cup of warm water
Anjali Mukerjee's concluding words were, “While this home remedy may offer relief, persistent bloating and gas require professional guidance.”
