Q. How can I stop bloating after eating?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
There are a few things you can do to help stop bloating after eating:
1) Drink plenty of water. Dehydration can cause the stomach to expand and bloat.
2) Avoid carbonated drinks. The bubbles in carbonated drinks can cause gas and bloating.
3) Avoid chewing gum. Chewing gum can cause you to swallow more air, which leads to gas and bloating.
4) Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This will help you digest your food better and avoid swallowing excess air.
5) Avoid eating high-fiber foods immediately before or after meals. These foods can cause gas and bloating because they aren't digested as easily as other foods.

I was recently prescribed Ramipril 2.5mg to treat high blood pressure. After taking it for 9 days I started having diarrhoea, which has persisted for 4 days now. This is listed as a possible side effect but I’m worried about the longevity of it. Is it normal to last this long as my body adjusts to the drug, or is it a concern? I had blood tests taken yesterday that came back normal. | Secondmedic
