Eat right and drink plenty of water to avoid becoming constipated, which can aggravate bloating.

Opt for smaller meals that don’t overload your digestive system. Aim for six small meals a day, rather than three large ones.

Slow down. When you eat too quickly, you often swallow air, which can form gas pockets in your belly. Chew food thoroughly.

Try to relax. Tension can also cause you to swallow air, both during meals and during the day.

Avoid gassy foods such as cabbage, beans, fried foods, onions, or anything that affects your particular digestive tract in a painful or musical manner.
