Eating quickly is also a big bloating trigger, says Professor Kumar. She explains that if we don’t chew food properly it puts more stress on the digestive system and also means that we, again, swallow more air, leading to bloating.

Those with digestive issues should know what trigger foods to avoid, but if you are worried about allergies or conditions such as IBS, make sure you talk to your GP.

Lack of movement during the day

Exercise can help with bloating in both the short term and long term. Immediately, it encourages food and gas to move through the gastrointestinal tract. But exercise will also strengthen the abdominal muscles that help gas move through the digestive system, meaning that sustained exercise can reduce the risk of bloating.

If you’re super static on your WFH days, then you may find that your bloating is worse when not in the office. Luckily, there’s an easy solution for that: implement some more movement into your day. Go for a short walk after lunch or dinner and you may start to notice a difference.

If you are worried about your bloating, make sure that you talk to your GP, especially if you are concerned that it may be related to your mental or physical health.
