If your stomach or tummy often feels bloated, it could be due to:

EXCESS WIND:
Cut down on foods known to cause wind and bloating, such as:

• Beans
• Onions
• Broccoli
• Cabbage
• Sprouts
• Cauliflower

But make sure you still eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.

CONSTIPATION:
If you get constipation, take steps to prevent it with a fibre-rich diet, drinking lots of fluids and taking regular exercise. Even a 20-30 minute brisk walk four times a week can improve your bowel function.

SWALLOWING AIR:
Try not to swallow too much air. Don't talk and eat at the same time, sit down to eat (sitting upright and not slumped over), reduce the amount of fizzy drinks you consume, stop chewing gum and chew with your mouth closed so that you're not taking in excess air.

FOOD INTOLERANCE
Food intolerance can lead to bloating when:

• Your bowel doesn't empty properly
• The food causes gas to be trapped
• Too much gas is produced as a reaction to the food

The main offenders are wheat or gluten and dairy products. The best approach if you have a food intolerance is to eat less of the culprit food or cut it out completely.

Keep a food diary for a couple of weeks, noting everything that you eat and drink and when bloating troubles you most. But don't get rid of food groups long-term without advice from your GP.

COELIAC DISEASE:
Coeliac disease is a common digestive condition where your intestine can't absorb gluten found in wheat, barley and rye.

Apart from bloating, if you have Coeliac disease, eating foods containing gluten can also trigger diarrhoea, abdominal pain and fatigue.

See your GP for a blood test if you suspect you may have Coeliac disease.

There is no cure for Coeliac disease but, once the condition has been diagnosed, switching to a gluten-free diet should help.

IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME:
People with irritable bowel syndrome often complain of bloating, especially in the evening.

WHEN TO SEE YOUR DOCTOR:
If your bloating symptoms persist or are more than an occasional inconvenience, consult your GP to rule out a more serious condition. Bloating, and a persistent feeling of fullness, are key symptoms of ovarian cancer.
