Are you prone to bloating , intestinal gas, abdominal pain, often accompanied by episodes of constipation? A good diet, coupled with a course of probiotics , will allow you to put an end to your digestion problems once and for all .
Foods to favor and avoid in case of bloating and constipation
White bread, dairy products, chickpeas or foods rich in carbohydrates promote bloating. On the other hand, others will allow them to be reduced, such as those rich in fiber, whole grains, as well as sweet potatoes, fruits (ripe banana, pear, apple, etc.), green vegetables and preferably leafy ones. Aromatic herbs are also very good for bloating and constipation .
Also avoid fried and overly fatty foods which tend to ferment in the intestines and, rather than fatty meats, prefer lean proteins, cooked gently or steamed!
