Bloating After Meals: 5 Gentle Things That Actually Help

That heavy, puffy feeling after a big meal is one of the most common gut complaints there is. You do not have to just live with it. Here are five gentle habits that help.

1. Slow down the first ten minutes

Digestion starts in your mouth. Eating fast means bigger pieces and more air swallowed, and both make your stomach work harder.

2. Walk after you eat

A ten minute walk after a meal helps everything keep moving. It is one of the oldest tricks in the book because it works.

3. Watch the fizzy drinks

Carbonation is literally air. If you feel puffy after meals, swapping the soda for still water is an easy win.

4. Give your gut some enzyme backup

Digestive enzymes like protease, papain and bromelain help break food down so it does not sit around. That is half of what is inside every Mellae strip.

5. Feed the good bacteria daily

A daily probiotic keeps the helpful bacteria in charge. Mellae uses B. coagulans, a strain tough enough to arrive where it matters. One berry strip a day, melted on your tongue, and the habit is built.

Gentle, boring, consistent. That is how guts get happy.
