    Potassium ensures that all cells, tissues and organs are operating properly. It can provide relief from bloating by balancing and circulating body fluids. Try eating potassium-rich foods such as bananas, kiwis and strawberries.

    Having a lot of salt/sodium in our diet can cause increased bloating. When we eat potassium-rich foods, this helps our kidneys get rid off excess sodium and help reduce stomach bloating.
