Bloating

Lycopodium is a useful remedy for bloating and discomfort after eating.
Especially if there is a lot of wind (belching or flatulence) with it.
If after a few mouthfuls the symptoms appear this remedy may help.

Lachesis is another useful remedy for bloating and discomfort after eating.
If there is stomach pain which may be worse on the left side and they cannot bear anything constricting the stomach - then this remedy may help.

Bloating and discomfort may be a sign that you are allergic to something you are eating.
It could be sweet food, wheat products, dairy products or anything.
You should try to pinpoint when the pain and bloating becomes worse.
Is it after eating sweets? or wheat? or dairy products? etc.
You can then eliminate the food you are allergic to for a short period of time.
After you have given your body a rest - you can re-introduce the food you are allergic to slowly and in small amounts.
This can help the body cope with the allergen.

Warning

If you want to go on an elimination diet, you should consult your doctor and agree a programme.
