Bloating can cause quite a bit of discomfort. Common symptoms of bloating include stomach pain, discomfort, and gas. You may also burp or belch frequently or have abdominal rumbling or gurgling. Avoiding this condition begins with your diet.

Vegetables that can help your digestive system are easy toad to your diet.

For years, celery has been used as a digestive aid to regulate bowel movements and to control intestinal gas because its chemicals are known to decrease fluid retention.Celery has a high water content with a detoxing system, which can help to purge your body of toxins

Other top picks for veggies that will help reduce fluid retention include cucumber, summer squashes, parsley, and any other kind of leafy greens. When it comes to eating vegetables in general, lean toward cooked over raw. The fiber structure is broken down once they're cooked, making them easier to digest.

Reduce sodium intake to a minimum and opt for fresh food over processed. For example, fresh turkey breast will have less sodium than processed, packaged turkey.

Limit your alcohol intake. When you drink too much you can get dehydrated, which will result in your body pulling in fluid.

For bloat as a result of constipation, focus on foods that hold water, like wheat bran or all-bran cereal.
