Read More »Here are six things you can do to help lessen the gas and the bloat. Chew. A lot. Chewing prompts your stomach to ramp up production of digestive enzymes, says A. Vogel, so it’s ready to start digesting as soon as the food splashes down, so to speak. It also slows you down if you eat too fast, and it may encourage you to eat less if you get bored with chewing each mouthful 20 times. Hydrate. There is a persistent belief out there that drinking too much liquid with a meal dilutes digestive juices and makes them less effective. There’s no real science to support this notion. The stomach is able to adapt to the content of meals, including water intake, and in fact, water may help the digestive process operate more smoothly. Exercise. One of the most natural menopause treatment options is exercise. Exercise can reduce stress and improve digestion, so keep moving so that everything, well, keeps moving. Eat well. Many healthy foods can contribute to the problem: beans, broccoli, pears, and whole-wheat bread among them. Try cutting way back on the foods that cause you the most problems, then slowly reintroduce them one at a time. This may help you tolerate them better. Fried and fatty foods can cause additional digestive problems, says Nature’s Intentions Naturopathic Clinic, so limit those. If you think your gut flora may be compromised, pre- and probiotics can help. Eat slowly and try to eat when you're not under stress. Know your triggers. Many women report issues with dairy, gluten, refined sugar, and artificial sweeteners, so test your tolerance and eat accordingly. We can become more sensitive to foods as we age, so don’t assume something you ate safely and in great quantity as a youngster will be as well tolerated now. Try peppermint tea. Peppermint is an effective, time-honored digestive aid. Plus it tastes really good. Caution - If you’re prone to heartburn, go easy on the peppermint.

A breath test can help you determine if this is causing your digestive issues. IBS. “Irritable bowel syndrome” refers to a group of symptoms that generally cause abdominal pain and changes in bowel movements. GERD or “gastroesophageal reflux disease” is a condition in which the stomach contents flow backward up the esophagus. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the presence of gluten causes the body to attack its own small intestine. Subsequent damage to the villi, the lining of the small intestine, can keep nutrients from being absorbed correctly. While a little extra intestinal gas may not be detrimental to your health, it can disrupt your working and social life. If you're dealing with digestive issues, check with a doctor, consider keeping a food journal to help you track triggers, and try to maintain a sense of humor. And maybe get a dog. You can always blame it on the dog.
