12 Foods that Won't Make You Bloat

It’s normal to have a certain level of gas in the intestines but excess amounts can lead to bloating. This would make your stomach feel larger than normal causing discomfort. Bloating can be attributed to the foods you eat, certain eating behaviors and even hormone levels. One way to beat the bloat is to choose foods that will help keep your digestive system running efficiently.

1. Avocado. This creamy wonder fruit helps ease bloating discomfort. Avocados are high in potassium and potassium releases water. Avocados have more potassium than bananas.
2. Cucumbers. They help fight bloating since they are loaded with water. According to nutrition expert Joy Bauer, RD, the more water you take in without fiber, the more you pee. And the more you pee the flatter the tummy feels.
3. String Cheese. Dairy products will not make you bloat except if you are lactose intolerant. A stick of cooled string cheese will help keep that tummy flat.
4. Asparagus. Water retention is one of the reasons people bloat. Asparagus can help reduce that because it is a diuretic. Adding a few stalks of this natural diuretic to your soup or meal will help flush out the excess liquid out of the body.
5. Zucchini. Grilled zucchinis will fill you up less the calories. This will prevent you from loading up on bloat-causing foods like chips and potato salad.  

6. Bananas. Eating banana in the morning after eating salty the night before help offset sodium and prevent you from puffing out. Thanks to its potassium content.  
7. Egg Whites. An egg-white omelette is packed with protein and acts like a pee-inducing diuretic to prevent you from bloating.
8. Almonds. These nuts are packed with healthy fats that reduce craving for food. They are the ultimate power – and non-bloating snack. Eat a handful of 23 almond nuts - the unsalted ones.
9. Red Grapes. These fruits are a great way to reduce gas and bloating. Freeze the grapes and munch them to keep your tummy flat all day.
10. Greek Yogurt. A great way to add more fruit and nutrients to your diet is by having yogurt. Greek yogurt helps aid in digestion and it’s full of protein. Choose one that has less than 20 grams of sugar.
11. Iced Coffee or Iced Tea. Carbonated drinks should be avoided because it will make you excessively gassy. A good alternative is iced coffee or iced tea. But sugar must be limited to just one packet.
