Foods To Prevent Bloating: Bloating is a digestive problem or health condition where your belly feels full and tight, usually due to gas. The Cleveland Clinic states that the feeling of bloating can range from mildly uncomfortable to intensely painful feelings. It usually goes away after a while, but for some people, it’s a recurring problem. Digestive issues and hormone fluctuations can cause cyclical bloating. While eating foods while bloating can be difficult, consuming some superfoods can ease the condition.

Foods To Prevent Bloating
Bananas
According to WebMD, bananas deliver a potassium punch. One study showed that women who ate a banana before each meal bloated less than those who didn’t, because they deliver certain gut bacteria that help calm gas production in the belly.
Avocado

Avocado is a superfood packed with fibre and essential nutrients, such as potassium, which helps promote healthy digestive function. It’s also a low-fructose food, so it’s less likely to cause gas, says Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Turmeric
Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory spice that gives curry its yellow colour and contains a good bit of the compound curcumin. The antioxidant curcumin present in turmeric can tame IBS symptoms, easing discomfort, regulating the digestive system, and reducing bloating.
Asparagus
The WebMD states that asparagus is a good source of inulin, an insoluble fibre that feeds the good bacteria in your gut and helps keep you regular.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are loaded with an antioxidant named lycopene that works as an anti-inflammatory agent throughout the body. They are an excellent source of potassium, which lowers levels of bloat-causing sodium in your body.
