i just wanted to share this here for my friends with arfid/gut issues/other people who struggle to eat while grappling with food rules ❤︎

[image description - a post by user @chloeshayden on threads that reads: "Reminder for my ARFID/gut issue girlies that the only bad food is food that is not mentally or physically unsafe for you and that breakfast/dinner foods are fake. The only thing I can stomach today is Açai bowls and so that has been lunch and dinner ! Want to eat pasta for brekkie? Perfect !!!! A smoothie for dinner ? Great !!!! Your body won’t let you eat anything except gelato? Eat gelato !!!! ‘Fed is best’ doesn’t only apply to kids." end image description.]

Sugar and alcohol just destroyed my guts tonight. Eat bad foods = have bad times. It's not that hard of a concept.

Except my dumbass was concerned only about the alcohol from last night and not the sugar in the mocktails. Oh the pain was real.

How to Stop Bloating: Foods to Avoid for a Happy Gut?

Every food lover knows the feeling of discomfort after a delicious meal. The tight, bloated sensation that makes you wish you had worn looser pants. It’s frustrating, and uncomfortable, and can leave you feeling sluggish for hours. While the occasional bloat is normal, if it keeps happening, your gut might be trying to tell you something. The truth is, that some foods are more likely to cause bloating than others. They trap gas, make you retain water, or slow down digestion, leaving you feeling puffy and heavy. 

But the best part is? A few simple changes in your diet can make a big difference. By knowing which foods to avoid and what to eat instead, you can keep your gut happy and feel lighter after meals. 

That’s exactly what we’re here to help with! In this blog, we’ll break down the biggest bloating culprits, explain why they cause discomfort and share easy swaps to keep your digestion smooth and stress-free. Whether you deal with bloating occasionally or it’s a constant struggle, these tips will help you feel more comfortable, energized, and in sync with your body. 

Different Foods That Cause Bloating

Bloating can happen for many reasons, but what you eat plays a huge role. Some foods are harder to digest, cause gas buildup, or make your body hold onto extra water, all leading to that uncomfortable, puffy feeling. Here are some common foods that can cause bloating:  

1. Carbonated Drinks

Fizzy drinks might feel refreshing, but they’re also packed with gas, literally. The bubbles in soda, sparkling water, and energy drinks can get trapped in your stomach, leading to bloating and discomfort. 

Also, many of these drinks contain artificial sweeteners, which can make things even worse for your gut. If you want to stay hydrated without the bloat, try plain water, herbal teas, or infused water with lemon, cucumber, or mint for a fresh and bloat-free alternative. 

2. Cruciferous Vegetables

Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts are super healthy, but they can also be tough on your stomach. That’s because they contain raffinose, a sugar that’s hard to digest, which can lead to gas and bloating, especially if you eat them raw. 

The good news? Cooking them helps break down some of these tough compounds, making them easier on your gut. If they still cause trouble, swap them out for gentler veggies like zucchini, bell peppers, or cucumbers.

3. Beans & Lentils

Beans and lentils are full of fiber and protein, but they also contain complex sugars that can be hard for your body to break down, leading to bloating and gas. One way to reduce this effect is by soaking beans overnight before cooking, this helps make them easier to digest. If you still find them a bit too heavy on your stomach, try switching to split lentils or quinoa, which are gentler on digestion.

4. Dairy Products

If you always feel bloated after a glass of milk, a slice of cheese, or a bowl of ice cream, lactose might be the problem. Many people have trouble digesting lactose, the sugar found in dairy, which can lead to bloating, gas, and stomach cramps. 

If that sounds like you, try switching to lactose-free dairy products or plant-based alternatives like almonds, oats, or coconut milk. Probiotic-rich yogurts can also help improve digestion and keep your gut happy.

5. Artificial Sweeteners

Most of the people think sugar-free gum, diet sodas, and low-calorie snacks are harmless. Then you need to think again. Many of these products contain artificial sweeteners like sorbitol, xylitol, and aspartame, which can be tough on your digestive system. 

Since your body struggles to break them down, they often sit in your gut and ferment, leading to bloating and discomfort. If you’re looking for a sweet fix, you need to go for natural options like honey, maple syrup, or stevia, but in moderation. 

6. Processed & Salty Foods

We often overlook processed foods because they are so easily available. Fast food, chips, frozen meals, and canned soups are loaded with sodium, which makes your body retain extra water. When you consume more, you'll feel puffy, and bloated, and face gastric problems that are ahead to deal with. 

Also, it often contains preservatives and additives that can disrupt digestion. The best way to prevent this is by cutting back on processed foods and choosing fresh, whole ingredients instead. Cooking at home with natural herbs and spices instead of salt can also help keep your gut, and your taste buds happy.

7. Fried & Fatty Foods

We all love crispy fries and creamy sauces, but greasy, high-fat foods take a long time to digest. This slows down your gut and makes you feel heavy and uncomfortable after eating. Fried foods can also trigger acid reflux, leading to bloating and digestive discomfort that lasts for hours.

Instead of cutting out your favorite foods completely, try switching to healthier cooking methods like baking, grilling, or steaming. These options still bring out great flavors while being much easier on your stomach, helping you feel light and energized after meals.

Wrapping Up

Bloating can be frustrating, but small changes to your diet can make a big difference. Avoiding foods that trigger bloating can help your gut feel better. Instead, you should choose lighter, gut-friendly options that are easier to digest. Everyone’s body reacts differently to certain foods, so it’s important to notice what works best for you. 

If bloating happens often and simple changes don’t help, it might be time to consult a stomach specialist for expert advice. They can guide you on the best way to keep your gut healthy and comfortable. After all, a happy stomach means a happier you.

Ready for TMI time? Awesome, here we go.

I taught a yoga class over this past summer, and this post is from then…

The studio is 30 min from my house, so I had to wake up and get my ass moving a lot earlier than I normally do. (Don’t judge, my body is stiff as fuck in the morning.) Being off my routine gives me anxiety, but I can persevere when needed. But then the drive in was busy and stressful 😖 Just my luck.

When I got to the studio I started feeling some rumbles in my belly. I was just prescribed Wellbutrin and Xanax for anxiety and panic attacks, and I’ve been on the Wellbutrin for about a week now. One of the main side effects is constipation. Awesome since I already have enough gut issues 😑 ANYWAY…I was like, “Ok, now is NOT the time.” I went to the bathroom and tried to 💩 and no dice. Ok, fine, we’ll just suffer in silence as always.

I started getting hot and flushed and sweaty as I walked back into the studio. IYKYK. Luckily the studio has a large garage door that opens up so you feel like you’re practicing outside. So I thought, “Let me go outside and make myself more presentable before anyone comes in.” I started walking slowly around the garden just looking at all the different plants. Identifying them in my head. I started listing the birds I heard. I tried to move slowly and breathe slowly. And you know what? IT FUCKING WORKED! As the first student came in 5 min later, I was calmed down and no longer feeling ill. That brain guy axis is so joke! And the fucking power of breath and mind control is real! Lesson learned.

This week, I tried something new and made Greek yogurt in the instant pot. Using the last two scoops of my store-bought stuff, I was able to get it to set up nicely overnight using lactose-free milk. It chilled and drained in a colander again overnight, and then the second day resulted in a beautiful cream with plenty of tang. Despite some misgivings, it was a success! 🥰

I just love Greek yogurt. The gut benefits are top-notch for tummy-hurties like me!

If you wanna try it, here's the recipe I used:
