Her two final dietary recommendations were to avoid yeast and chewing gum. She explained: “Yeast is found in food such as bread, pastries, flour, and biscuits. Experiencing gas after eating bread is common but it could also mean that you have a sensitivity to gluten or a substance in wheat.
“Try to experiment with eating different types of bread such as wheat-free, if you find your stomach is still inflamed, implement a yeast-free diet.”
Meanwhile, on gum she said: “Chewing gum might seem innocent and is a quick fix for fresh breath, but it causes you to swallow tummy-bloating air.
“Many gums also contain artificial sweeteners like sorbitol, xylitol and sugar alcohols.
“Since these sugar alcohols are not absorbed by your body it can lead to bloating. As an alternative, choose an organic gum, they are low in calories and do not contain sweeteners.”
