Say bye-bye to belly bloat: 8 tricks to help you feel comfortable in no time

MILWAUKEE -- We've all been there. Enjoyed a little too much food -- and Boom! Welcome bloated belly. Registered dietitian Lisa Grudzielanek with Your Tasty Life joins Real Milwaukee with eight tricks to help you feel comfortable in no time.

SLOW DOWN & CHEW FOOD
• About half of gas in the digestive system is swallowed air from eating too fast, chewing gum, using straws or chewing on candy.

OVEREATING
• Overeating is probably the most common cause of bloating. Smaller portions should ease the bloat.

SKIP FATTY MEALS
• It slows down the speed at which food can leave the stomach and enter the small digestion.

LIMIT FERMENTABLE SUGARS
• Experiment with limiting dried fruit, apples, garlic, onion, beans and wheat to see if that makes a difference.

DITCH CARBONATED BEVERAGES
• They add gas to your system and increase bloating.

PEPPERMINT
• It alleviates gas by relaxing the digestive tract and boosting normal peristalsis

GINGER
• Ginger is a powerful digestive aid and can provide relief from bloating.

DIGESTIVE ENZYMES
• Digestive enzymes are small proteins that act on specific molecules within foods to break them down.
