    Water with lemon or apple cider vinegar. Also cutting down on your sodium intake and making sure to drink at least 8 cups - that's 64 fl oz of unadulterated water - per day can help prevent bloating.
    Really?! I didn't think MORE water would do the trick, funny. Thanks!

    What happens when you eat sodium is your body wants to retain all the water to balance out that sodium..... so if you drink lots of water... your body says oh ok... i'm getting hydrated and it starts releasing the water and your body goes back to normal..... That is probably the most non medical description of that process ever haha

    I drink a cup of warm lemon water every morning and I do not get bloated or retain too much water. I swear by this and I have IBS with constipation. I also make sure I have at least 60 ounces of water daily too.

    Water, green tea, more water. On days I feel bloated my lunch is a big bright green salad with lots of veggies, chicken breast, and a little bit of oil and lemon juice for dressing. And if being bloated is making me feel queasy, I go for club soda with a squeeze of lemon or lime.

    I find coconut water helpful (no additives). I have no scientific background to back it up but it helps me :)

    I used to have horrible bloating and gas pains. Tried Kefir - blueberry or raspberry are my favorites! Haven't been bloated since drinking it! Love it, drink it every day. Put it in my green smoothies. Great way to get probiotics in and no more tummy problems!
