So after finally getting over a nearly 2 week bloating phase, I would like to nail down the foods that really cause me distress.
I've noticed that dairy kills me. Just hurts my insides. So I avoid that like the plague.
Sugary carbs cause inflammation and cause my lower tummy or 'pooch' to stick out a ton.
If I eat starchy carbs (well, usually just grains) and drink a lot of water the same day then I'll be bloated/retain water the next day or 2.
If I eat starchy carbs/grains and I DON'T drink a lot of water, I usually can avoid that water retention.
Coffee in the morning really gets my digestive system going. Yay for coffee!
Eating an apple, alone, early in the morning before my actual breakfast helps with digestion.
Having a protein shake about 30 mins before bed seems to help.
Eating protein with fibrous veggies helps but eating protein with starchy carbs is horrible on my stomach. After researching 'food combining', apparently this is common.
Taking a probiotic daily made a huge difference.
So these are all things that I've noticed allow me to wake up with a flat, calm stomach.
What are some things you do to avoid bloating or just make your digestive system happy?
