Today, we\u2019ll give you the quick-and-dirty for the top 6 that show up again and again as some easy things that you can do as soon as today to eliminate your tummy troubles.<\/p>\n
These tips will helps eliminate IBS as well.<\/p>\n
1) Put down the soda can.<\/strong> Aside from forcing into your system a ton of sodium and potentially a lot of sugar, most sodas are packed with caffeine. This is a known trigger of not only IBS symptoms, but also reflux and other types of heartburn. Start by replacing 12 ounces at a time of that soda habit with water and see how much better you\u2019ll feel in a week.<\/p>\n 2) Drop a little weight.<\/strong> Carrying more than 30 pounds compresses internal organs. Carrying more than that compresses them even more. Being overweight or obese also slows digestion, which is then going to lead to stomach ache, heartburn\u2026even certain food intolerances. Get off the couch and head for the treadmill. You can watch your news programs or crime dramas from there.<\/p>\n 3) Find clothes that fit.<\/strong> Just because you can get them on, doesn\u2019t mean they fit. Make sure that your pants, belts, skirts, or other clothing that comes around the stomach or gut is appropriately fitted. Clothing that\u2019s too tight doesn\u2019t just create a muffin top, it constricts those organs causing pain.<\/p>\n 4) Make those meals smaller,<\/strong> and just eat more of them. Speaking of loosening the belt\u2026if you eat enough in one sitting to have to do this, you\u2019re doing it wrong. If your reflux or heartburn is severe, you need to limit what you eat to 8 ounces per meal- total, and just eat them more frequently. Give your stomach a break and put at least half that meal in a box as soon as you get it.<\/p>\n 5) Limit alcohol,<\/strong> especially before bed time. Alcohol is hard on the stomach, especially if you have food intolerances creeping up on you. Gluten intolerances mean no beer. Hard liquor likes to attack the lining of the stomach and lead to ulcers. Limit your drinks to one or two, and only with a meal.<\/p>\n 6) Stop Smoking<\/strong>– period.<\/p>\n Want even more powerful heartburn cure?
