If you are
feeling bloated or gassy, some foods can help calm your stomach. Try these
three:
1.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare). The seeds,
leaves, and roots of the fennel plant are readily available in many forms
including plain seeds, sugar-coated seeds, extract, oil, and capsules. All
offer a natural way to help relieve gas. When shopping, note that fresh fennel
seeds should have a strong aroma, and other forms should have a freshness date.
Simply chew and swallow one-half to one teaspoon of fennel seeds after eating,
whenever distended from gas, or as recommended by product label. Children can
take half the adult dose.
2.
Baked potatoes.
They are easy to digest, making them a good choice for an upset stomach when
you are still hungry. Plus these universally loved vegetables are loaded with
vitamins C and B-6, potassium and fiber.
3.
Eggs. The
protein in eggs can help to soothe a gassy stomach. Choose organic, free-range
eggs, and poach or hard-boil them for the most benefit.
