8 Simple and Effective Home Remedies to Treat Stomach Bloating

July 11, 2019

One of the most common, uncomfortable, and painful problems is the bloating of the stomach which is due to buildup of gas in stomach particularly in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Stomach bloating can occur due to any of these reasons including heavy meal, indigestion, water retention, serious alcohol sessions, carbonated drinks, menstruation, constipation, fluid retention or wind.

A bloated stomach is larger and feels tight, painful, and creates temporary abdominal distention. While for some people the bloating and stomach gas pain would be momentary, there are many others who seriously experience sharp pain and discomfort. No matter temporary or long-lasting, GasOFast suggests you try these 8 simple and effective home remedies for stomach bloating and stomach gas pain.


Warm Lemon Water


One of the main causes of stomach bloating is the retention of water in the body; water retention causes bloating, as well as stomach ache.  Lemon being a natural diuretic and a gentle laxative reduces the amount of water retained in the body. It also stimulates the process of food breakdown by generating more acid in stomach. Squeeze in one full lemon into a cup of lukewarm water and drink it early in the morning or 20 minutes post your meal. You can also add some honey to this as per taste. Apart from naturally providing gas relief, lemon also keeps many other problems at bay.


Pumpkin


One home remedy we swear by is Pumpkin. This magical vegetable is nearly 90% water, contains excess fiber, and is highly rich in potassium all of which help to relieve the stomach gas pain and bloating. Pumpkin flushes the intestine-clogging materials out of the system, stimulates the movement of food in the gastrointestinal tract, and helps the body get rid of the excessive sodium. It is also very easy to include pumpkin in your diet; you can have it in the form of soup, bake it, blend in with another vegetable or add it to your daily breakfast cereal/oatmeal - to be free of stomach gas troubles and bloating.


Peppermint Tea


This is not just some fancy tea but instead is a remedy full of antispasmodic and relaxant properties that promotes healthy digestion and no clogging of gas in the stomach. Peppermint very effectively calms the stomach muscles and enhances the flow of bile which helps in digestion of fats. Boil a few peppermint leaves in water for approximately 15-20 minutes, strain the mixture, and drink it hot any time of the day. Peppermint tea is also extremely beneficial in relaxing your mind and soothing the senses.


Chamomile Tea


One sure way to say goodbye to that gas problem and bloated stomach is to drink a large cup of hot chamomile tea every day. The antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and relaxing properties of chamomile fasten the dispelling of stomach gas and soothe the muscles of the intestines enabling food to pass through smoothly. Readymade sachets of chamomile tea are available in the market. You can add some honey, lemon or any other flavor to this tea as per preference.


Caraway


Caraway is being used in many forms since ages to cure various health problems. One of those is reducing stomach bloating and gas troubles. It is very effective in reducing heartburn, bloating, stomach gas, and intestinal cramps. Caraway is also known to relieve constipation and helps in reducing weight. You can add caraway to the food while cooking or make a powder mixture of caraway, pepper, and fenugreek and consume a teaspoon after meals with water.


Ginger


This is an ingredient that resolves not only the issue of stomach bloating but also helps in curing multiple other health problems. Adding ginger to your diet is essential to stay healthy. Its carminative properties help to expel stomach gas and calm the stomach relieving you of acidity, stomach gas, cramps, and indigestion.

Apart from adding ginger to your everyday food preparation, you can grate an inch of ginger in a cup of water and leave it to boil for 5 minutes. Once done, strain the water and drink it hot after 30 minutes of food every day. You can add honey or lemon per taste.


Baking Soda


Baking soda functions as an antacid which cures indigestion and counteracts the hydrochloric acid in the stomach relieving you of stomach bloating. Mix one small tablespoon of baking soda with a glass of lukewarm water and drink the solution daily to get bloating and gas relief.


Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)


This all-rounder, magical kitchen ingredient cures stomach gas troubles and boating amongst various other problems. ACV has proven to be extremely effective in resolving the gas problem and stomach bloating due to the presence of enzymes and digestive properties that amp up the digestive process.
