Post Vacation Bloat

Just a gut check! Finally after being home a week from vacation, I feel back to my normal self! While I always workout on vacations & eat pretty healthy, still the restaurant foods, switching time zones & long flights take SUCH a toll.. omg.

Tips to lose the bloat post-vacation:

Drink lots of water
Get 8 hours of sleep
Work out
Avoid artificial sweeteners
Avoid sugary foods
Avoid FODMAPs if you’re sensitive to them (small-chain carbs found in foods like wheat, onion, garlic, pears.. if sensitive to them, they can draw water into your  intestines and ferment causing bloat)
If Dr approves, consider a cleanse or fast (do your research)
Get outside & move more
Limit/avoid alcohol (dehydrates you increasing bloat)
Watch your intake of soluble fiber that could be causing the bloating – oat bran, oatmeal, beans, peas, fruits
