Summary
Let’s talk about how to get rid of bloating fast. When it comes to a problem with the digestive system, the first thing you need to do is consider what you’re eating.
You can try consuming fewer foods to help isolate what’s causing you to bloat the most. It’s important to consider what you ate just before you noticed you were bloated. This will give you a big clue as to what’s causing you to bloat.
One of the best things to do for bloating is intermittent fasting. The more frequently you eat, the more bloating problems you’ll have. Gas produced by microbes in your gut can also cause bloating.
When trying to get rid of bloating, avoiding certain things is way more important than taking certain things.
Common foods to avoid to help with bloating:
• Fruit
• Beans
• Grains
• Refined sugars
• Sugar alcohols
• Starches
• Maltodextrin or dextrin
• Functional fibers
• Prebiotics
• Gluten
• Lactose
• Casein
• Nuts or nut butter
• Vegetables
Other potential causes of bloating:
• Stress
• Constipation
• Menstrual cramps

| 0:00.0 | I'm going to show you how to get rid of bloating in your stomach very, very fast. |
| 0:05.0 | I've had bloating for many, many years and I didn't know what it was at the time, so I have |
| 0:08.3 | firsthand experience on bloating. |
| 0:11.4 | And not to mention, I've worked with tens of thousands of people over 35 years, and many of |
| 0:16.3 | these people have bloating as a primary concern. |
| 0:19.3 | So I'm going to show you exactly how to get rid of your |
| 0:21.6 | bloating and I'm going to make it really simple. There are things that are really, really, really |
| 0:25.4 | important and there are things that are very trivial and not very important. And those are usually |
| 0:30.5 | on like Wikipedia on the first few pages of Google when you do searches on bloating. Really, |
| 0:35.5 | it's just the same information recycled over and over and over. |
| 0:39.5 | Medically, they'll examine you, they diagnose you, and then they treat you with usually an over-the-counter |
| 0:44.9 | medication or some prescription medication, which is crazy because anything going on with your digestive system, |
| 0:52.6 | you must first look at the foods that you're |
| 0:55.0 | eating. It's the foods, okay? So here's a really simple thing you should start out with. |
| 1:00.0 | When did the bloating start? What did I eat just before that? That will give you a big clue. |
| 1:06.0 | And one of the problems that people run into is that a lot of times they don't just eat one thing. They have a combination of things. It makes it a lot more difficult. |
| 1:13.6 | So as you start to figure out what's really behind this bloating, I think it's going to be very important to eat lesser amounts of foods, just like maybe three different foods. |
| 1:24.6 | So you can at least start isolating what's really doing the most bloating. |
| 1:30.1 | Versus this huge, long, complex recipe. Also, the more frequent you eat, the more bloating |
| 1:36.2 | problems you're going to have. Our digestive system is very long and many people keep that |
| 1:42.4 | huge tube completely filled all the time with the snacks and three meals, |
