11. Lemon
Lemons are a natural way to detox the body. If you experience gas or bloating after a meal, drink the juice of one organic lemon with some warm water directly after a meal for super de-bloating power.
12. Green Tea
Green tea has been shown to boost your metabolism and decrease bloat. Don’t drink iced tea, however, as the ice causes spasms in the intestines. Drink warm or hot fresh green tea, which won’t cause more gas and is super anti-inflammatory. Read more about green tea for detox and cleansing.
13. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a great way to increase the amount of gastric enzymes your body produces, which will break down your food more quickly. If you can deal with the taste, simply add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water and drink it each morning on an empty stomach. If you can’t deal with the flavor, mix some into your salad or salad dressing.

14. Pineapple
This is another great food for avoiding bloat. Pineapples contain an enzyme called bromelain, which also helps improve digestion so you don’t get that gassy, bloated feeling. You can eat fresh pineapple or drink unsweetened juice, the choice is yours.
