6. Yogurt

Be sure you get yogurt that contains plenty of probiotics, as these help to regulate your digestion and add helpful bacteria that helps to break down foods. Look for yogurt that says it has live, active cultures.

7. Ginger

You might only think of ginger as a remedy for the flu or for nausea, but it also is an all-star when it comes to helping your digestion. Ginger has natural anti-inflammatory action and relaxes the muscles within the digestive system which stops bloat. It also has enzymes that absorb protein. This will stop the gas from happening in the first place.

Dandelion greens have prebiotics, which means that they encourage the production of enzymes that break down proteins in the foods you eat, which block the formation of gas and bloating. Take a look at your local farmers market for these delicious salad greens and you will never look at those weeds in your garden the same way ever again.

If your stomach feels bloated and tight after a meal, simply sip a cup of chamomile or peppermint tea. Both of these teas are known for their relaxing properties, which help to relieve the gas that causes bloat. They also taste great!
