3. Ginger Ginger has a lot of positive effects on various medical problems like cough, cold, and in this instance, stomach bloating! Two chemicals called gingerols and shogaols in the root decrease inflammatory response in the gut as well as give a quick command to the bowel muscles to relax and ease up. For example, ginger tea can reduce the amount of unnecessary gas from a partially and poorly digested meal.


Cut some very thin slices of ginger and steep for 10 minutes in boiling water. You could even add honey and a squeeze of lemon to make it flavorful and delicious. If you don't mind the taste, you can also chew on little pieces of raw ginger for a fast fix.


4. Time to Eliminate Dairy

Lactose is the sugar found in milk. Your body has an enzyme known as lactase that processes dairy. Children have it at high levels because they need it to digest breast milk and now that we're older, we produce less and less lactase as we no longer need milk.


This, in turn, makes it very impossible to break down cow's milk and other animals, dairy foods the same way for the digestive tract, which is what creates the swollen abdomen. It just takes as little as 30 minutes for this sign to the surface after you've eaten some food, and it's far more normal than you thought.

These 4 instant remedies have been proven to reduce or eliminate stomach bloating, so before paying a visit to the doctor’s office, be sure to try these 4 remedies at home!
