Abdominal Bloat Management

  • Try peppermint oil and massage it onto the abdomen clockwise or take light walks to help promote digestion.
  • Eat many small meals throughout the day. Space out your meals and wait about the same amount of time between each one.
  • Choose a light diet.  Avoid gas producing foods such as sweet potato, potato, corn, taro, or beans. Eat more fruits and vegetables to prevent constipation.
  • Avoid breathing with mouth open.

    1. Pain that does not go away or is getting worse
    2. Vomiting or nausea
    3. Fever or chills
    4. A swollen or tender belly
