Dr. Shen Yonghua
Here are some foods that can help alleviate stomach bloating:
1. Appetizer and digestive foods: Fruits such as hawthorn, oranges, and apples can help stimulate appetite and promote the secretion of digestive juices, thereby relieving stomach bloating.
2. High-fiber vegetables: Consuming moderate amounts of high-fiber vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and carrots can help promote intestinal motility. However, pay attention to cooking methods and avoid eating them raw or in excessive amounts to prevent excessive gas production.
3. Fermented foods: Fermented foods like yogurt and kimchi contain probiotics that help improve the balance of the intestinal microecology and reduce bloating.
4. Foods that protect the gastric mucosa and strengthen the spleen: Ingredients such as Chinese yam, coix seed, and red beans have the effect of strengthening the spleen, nourishing the stomach, and protecting the gastric mucosa, making them suitable for individuals suffering from stomach bloating.
5. Low-FODMAP foods: Reducing the intake of poorly digestible carbohydrates, such as onions, garlic, apples, and pears, may help reduce stomach bloating.
In addition, maintaining good eating habits, such as chewing food thoroughly, eating slowly, and having small frequent meals, can help alleviate symptoms of stomach bloating. If symptoms persist, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
