Patient's question:
Can you eat cereal when you have a bloated stomach? Drinking more water makes you full, can you drink cereal? Can drinking cereal help relieve it?Doctor's answer:
Oats contain dietary fiber, which can aid digestion and help relieve bloating. Drinking apple cider vinegar, using one tablespoon of pure apple cider vinegar mixed with a cup of water, sipped during meals, can also aid digestion. Alternatively, you can drink a cup of lemon water before going to bed in the morning; it also has healing and blood-purifying effects. Chew on rice water; rice water and barley porridge are effective for bloating, flatulence, and heartburn. Use one part rice (or millet or barley) and cook for 10 minutes. Cover the pot and simmer for another 50 minutes. Strain and drink several times a day.
