Morning Bloating Causes and How to Relieve It

Change Your Eating Habits

In addition to foods in the diet, you can make some changes to your eating habits to help reduce morning bloating. These include:

– Eat slowly in each meal: In many cases, bloating may happen when you swallow too much air during talking or eating. This amount of air may cause the stomach to swell, making it hard for gas to go. Therefore, you should chew and swallow slowly during your meal. Avoid talking when the mouth is full of food as well.

– Do not have large meals too late at night, particularly when the meal has a lot of carbohydrates.

– Have smaller, but more frequent meals during the day. For instance, try 4 to 5 smaller meals instead of 3 large meals. This helps reduce physical pressure on the stomach and alleviates bloating. [10]
