– Whole grains: Natural grains contain a myriad of health benefits, but they can sometimes cause bloating and gas troubles. Fiber is an indigestible carbohydrate that, when consumed in large amounts, can create bloating, gas, and even constipation. This is one reason why nutritionists do not recommend a sudden, sharp increase of fiber in one’s diet. Instead, slowly adding fiber and giving your body a period to adjust is a better option. Additionally, make sure to consume plenty of water, as H2O can help prevent the fiber from absorbing too much water from within the digestive tract.

Oils That May Help

Now that we’ve discussed some potential food culprits, let’s talk about some oils that may naturally help ease your tummy troubles.

HERE ARE FOUR INGREDIENTS THAT CAN HELP WITH GAS AND BLOATING:

1. CHAMOMILE OIL

Chamomile oil has been shown to help reduce intestinal inflammation and ease pains brought on by cramping. Chamomile may also help relieve diarrhea, chronic heartburn, loss of appetite, nausea, motion sickness, and vomiting. Though more research must be conducted, chamomile oil may also help rid the body of toxins.

2. CUMIN OIL

It’s said that cumin oil works wonders for intestinal cramps and general pain in the stomach. It may also help with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, and flatulence. Pregnant women should not use cumin oil, nor should it be exposed to sunlight after being applied to the skin.
