You drink water consistently.

Dehydration slows digestion. Water supports fiber movement. You sip water across the day. You avoid large gulps during meals. Consistency matters.

You limit carbonated drinks.

Gas builds pressure. Bubbles increase abdominal expansion. You choose still water or herbal drinks. Reduction eases discomfort.

You balance fiber intake.

Fiber supports digestion. Excess fiber strains the gut. You spread fiber across meals. You combine fiber with water. Balance prevents gas buildup.

You identify trigger foods.

Some foods ferment easily. Common triggers include beans, onions, dairy, and wheat. You track reactions. Awareness guides food choices.
