Food Combining Guidelines To Relieve Your Bloated Belly

Go to http://www.healthyeatingstartshere.com/weight-loss/food-combining-guidelines for the full article.

Food combining guidelines are a way of looking at food to get the most efficient digestion possible. What that means to you is that it can help with bloating, gas, weight loss and energy levels. Phil was good enough to put together a lovely food combining chart to make it all clear :)

Do you pay attention to food combinations? What do you find works for you, and what doesn't? Let me know below.

i am always roped in to listening to you because of your subject lines, but you rarely actually give the information in your videos. it's frustrating. i look forward to information-packed videos in the future.

@tribekat well, like I said in the video, food combining is tricky to give info verbally without it getting confusing - but there is an information-packed article on my site if you click the link under the video. All of the most important food combining guidelines are there, along with a chart that Phil put together to make it much easier to understand :) I hope that helps! thanks for watching :)

I'm an aspiring vegetarian, and I tend to eat chicken and fish. Sometimes I'll have beans, and dahl as substitute to meats for protein, and I'll get very bloated. So to combat bloating I'll have ginger green tea, with lemon and sweetened with honey. It makes bloating go away, and has a great soothing effect on my digestion in general..I'm not entirely sure of the science behind this drink, but I've read ginger helps with gas/bloating. Keeps me happy :)

@zooropa84 yeah, ginger is great for stimulating digestion and soothing the stomach. I'm not sure about the science either, but it's been used for a long, long time - before pepto bismal and gravol ;)

I can tell you now, don't put a bunch of legumes together. I once had peas and kidney beans along with brown rice (even when i wasn't vegan rice never settled well with me) it was a large portion too. I could not sleep! It just would not digest or go all the way down. I desperately tried to puke up in the middle of the night, no luck. I wasn't going to the toilet properly for ages, it sucked.

Hi Heather...great vid! I think my problem is since I turned vegetarian I do experience more gas...eeek. My biggest problem is grapes.  But I love them so much I am willing to put up with it. I will tell you what I have noticed.....when I eat any store bought bread now my stomach feels like a brewer's vat. I do tend to make my own bread now but I still suffer with the bloating. :)

Thanks I printed that. :) I'm one of the skinny ones you mentioned. I've contacted you for a consultation already. :)

I will take a look at this Heather. I didn't think you used corn, wheat, and soy. I couldn't see that actually. I see you as a more careful, informed nutritionist and educator. Probably organic if you use it. I think I saw you talking on those things actually--to minimize use or avoid. I can't remember. Thanks for the video.

[healthyvegan]

@Thecrazyeditor yeah, check out the recipes on my channel - I very rarely use any corn, soy or wheat - most of the focus is on the veggies :)

@healthyvegan I feel the same way. I am still using a wheelchair, but I can type. Any thoughts on elimination diets, Celiac-type patients, and getting in calories without eliminating via "vomiting." I try but the elimination list is long. I should post what I can have and that might help. Or search your videos. The big three are out for me--corn, soy, and wheat. I don't see it happening. Perhaps, Native American corn, but that is it. Too weird for me. ;)
