Parties and picnics and barbeques, oh my! Although a lot of fun, these food-filled events can leave you feeling uncomfortable and bloated. With a few easy swaps and strategies, you can head home feeling your best and excited for the next!

Understand What Causes Gas

The most common causes of bloating are excess gas in your gut and constipation. Both can happen when your digestive system struggles to break down the food you eat. Knowing the common triggers can help you make better choices.

Gut-Friendly Foods
  • Onions vs. Sauerkraut: Burgers and hotdogs often come smothered with toppings like onions, which contain fructan a gas-causing compound that can be hard for some people to digest. Alternatively, sauerkraut is full of probiotics, so it promotes the growth of healthy bacteria.
  • Soda vs. Green Tea: Carbonated drinks introduce air into your digestive system, leading to gas. Opt for a refreshing iced green tea It not only provides hydration but also acts as a natural laxative to help keep you regular.
  • Chips vs. Fruit & Veggie Sides: Fatty foods like chips are hard to digest, meaning they stay in your gut longer and create more gas. Try pairing your main dish with a side of fruit or vegetables. Snacks like watermelon, celery, cucumbers, and berries are not only delicious but will help you stay hydrated, keeping your gut moving and happy.
Eating Habits

Between seeing friends and satisfying your hunger, it can be easy to eat quickly. In instances like these, eating and talking comes naturally. However, eating more mindfully decreases the amount of air that you swallow, which means less bloating.

Remember to start small. It is always tempting to fill your plate to the brim, but eating smaller portions more frequently is better for your digestive system. This will prevent overeating and helps your digestive tract handle food more efficiently.
