The Cabbage Juice Recipe That Beats Bloat, Removes Toxins and Heals Your Gut

Bloating is almost inevitable, especially during holiday season or after a nice, family gathering.  Being bloated is the feeling of having excess gas in the digestive system, which feels like you have a “food baby’ in the stomach. For some people, this unpleasant feeling is much more than an occasional discomfort.

Causes of Bloating

• Excess wind ( caused by foods like onions, beans, cabbage, sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli)
• Constipation ( which can be prevented by eating a high-fiber diet and drinking plenty of water)
• Swallowing air when eating fast or talking while eating
• Food Intolerance, especially when the bowel doesn’t empty properly, the food causes gas to be trapped, or too much gas is produced)
• Coeliac disease ( intestine cannot absorb gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye)
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
