<\/p>\n

From serious health problems to poor dietary choices, bloating can be stirred up by a variety of factors.<\/p>\n

Leaving your belly sticking out and sore, the uncomfortable sensation can sometimes strike even after you\u2019ve eaten the smallest amounts of food.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Dr Anthony Youn shared five easy tips that could help tackle stubborn bloating on\u00a0his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

1. Cut down on soda<\/h3>\n

While an ice-cold glass of soda pop tastes great with just about anything, it could harm your gut health.<\/p>\n

Your gut is the home to trillions of bacteria that form your unique microbiome, which affects your skin, digestive system and even brain health.<\/p>\n

Dr Youn said: \u201cHaving a lot of unhealthy gut bacteria can cause you medical problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cExcessive amounts of sugar can actually help feed the unhealthy gut bacteria and cause you to have an unhealthy microbiome.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo drinking a lot of sugary drinks like soda pop can increase the amount of unhealthy gut bacteria that you have and then can worsen belly bloat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is in addition to the carbonation in these drinks that can also increase gassiness and bloating.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While quitting sugary drinks altogether would be the best option, the doctor explained that cutting down from two cans to one a day could also make a difference.<\/p>\n

2. Eat more fermented foods<\/h3>\n

From kombucha to sauerkraut and miso to yoghurt, fermented foods are packed with healthy gut bacteria that can help tackle bloating and boost the health of your microbiome.<\/p>\n

The doctor recommended eating fermented foods at least a few times a week to start out with.<\/p>\n

3. Take a probiotic<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re not a fan of fermented foods or can\u2019t stand the sour taste, another option is to take a daily probiotic.<\/p>\n
