Oh no, bloating is the worst. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that discomfort! Let’s chat about what might be going on.
First, the good news: After 200,000+ women using NeuEve Silk, we’ve never had reports of bloating being connected. Since the suppositories work locally in the vaginal area, they wouldn’t affect your digestive system where bloating happens.
That said, bloating can come from so many places. Here’s what I’ve learned from talking with thousands of women:
- Cruciferous Vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts.
- Beans and Legumes: Lentils, chickpeas, black beans.
- Dairy Products: Milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream.
- Carbonated Beverages: Soda, sparkling water, beer.
- Processed Foods: Packaged snacks, ready-to-eat meals, frozen foods.
- Fried and Fatty Foods: French fries, fried chicken, fatty cuts of meat.
- Artificial Sweeteners: Sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol.
- Wheat and Gluten: Bread, pasta, pastries.
- Onions and Garlic.
- Apples and Pears.
What could modify your bloating:
- Modify Your Diet: Avoid gas-producing foods, eat smaller portions, and chew slowly.
- Physical Activity: Gentle exercises like walking or specific yoga poses can help.
- Drink Herbal Teas: Peppermint, ginger, and chamomile teas can be soothing.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking water helps prevent water retention and supports digestion.
- Try Over-the-Counter Remedies: Simethicone and probiotics might help.
- Limit Salt and High-Sodium Foods: Reducing sodium can help prevent water retention.
- Manage Stress: Techniques like deep breathing or meditation may help.
- Avoid Carbonated Drinks: These can lead to trapped gas.
If bloating persists or is accompanied by more severe symptoms, it's important to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions.
