High Fat Diet
Eating large helpings of fatty meals can contribute to bloating in remarkable ways. Fat is relatively difficult to digest and takes longer to leave the gut. So, large amounts of fat in the gut can make you bloated for as long as it stays in your gut. Reducing fat intake may help in this case to minimize or avoid bloating. [5]
Constipation
Constipation is a usual cause of bloating, but the problem is that some people don’t know they are constipated. The symptoms of constipation are mostly obvious. The commonest symptom of having irregular bowel movements is sometimes deceptive since some constipated people don’t experience irregular bowel movements. Aside from bloating, constipation can cause abdominal pains too. Bacterial action on the food can contribute to bloating. When food has to tarry longer than usual in the abdomen, bacteria get enough time to decompose it and worsen bloating. [6]
