Bloating happens to almost everyone occasionally. It is typically brought on by ingesting particular meals and beverages as well as swallowing air while eating. In addition, there are other, graver reasons of bloating, such as constipation, a food intolerance, and irritable bowel syndrome. Bloating may occasionally be a symptom of gut imbalance. Our gut requires certain bacteria to help digest fiber, since it cannot digest it on its own. Bloating can occur if you don't have enough or the proper kind of bacteria in your gut, which can result in gas production. Here are some natural treatments to boost your gut health and reduce frequent bloating discomfort.

Fermented foods: Beneficial microbes are promoted by fermentation while bad ones are suppressed. By preventing the fermented foods from spoiling, this also aids in promoting healthy digestion. Some fermented foods are also high in yeasts which work symbiotically with the bacteria. You can consume kimchi, live yogurt, tempeh and kombucha.
Berries: Berries, such as blueberries and raspberries, contain phytochemicals such as polyphenols. Polyphenols can have beneficial effects on the gut wall and composition of the gut microbiome. Combining berries with yogurt will make a healthy digestive snack.

Activated charcoal: Reduce bloating by taking activated charcoal with food. Activated charcoal has tiny air pockets that absorb excess gas. Gas buildup may be avoided as a result. But before ingesting this, especially if you are taking any drugs, it is advisable that you speak with your doctor.
