What Is bloating?
As per Anjali Mukerjee, 'Bloating is a condition where your belly feels full and tight, often due to excess gas. This abdominal discomfort is not just limited to post-feast situations. It can occur even when you have not eaten a large meal. It is often accompanied by pain, excessive gas (flatulence), frequent burping, or abdominal gurgling.'
Common causes
'Food sensitivities like gluten, dairy, shellfish, food colorings, corn, soy, or peanuts' are the common causes of bloating, she explains. 'You may also be dealing with hypochlorhydria (low levels of stomach acid), which affects digestion and can result in undigested food particles in your stool,' adds the nutritionist.
Recipe
Anjali Mukerjee advises to 'consume the following to reduce gas and flatulence' soon after finishing your meal. 'This combination helps in relieving bloating and discomfort,' she reveals.
Ingredients required
½ tablespoon of Shunthi (ginger powder)
½ pinch of hing (asafoetida)
½ tablespoon of rock salt
½ tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in 1 cup of warm water
Anjali Mukerjee's concluding words were, 'While this home remedy may offer relief, persistent bloating and gas require professional guidance.'

US beverage brand High Noon recalls energy drink cans accidentally filled with vodka
American alcoholic beverage brand High Noon has announced a recall of vodka seltzer cans that were accidentally labelled as Celsius energy drinks. Cans labelled as Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz Edition were discovered in some shipments of High Noon's Beach Variety 12-packs. Some cans filled with High Noon vodka seltzer were mislabeled as energy drinks and shipped to retailers. (Instagram/@highnoonsunsips) How the mix-up happened The mix-up occurred when a packaging supplier erroneously shipped empty Celsius cans to High Noon, a brand that specializes in hard seltzer. High Noon filled the cans with alcohol. The mislabeled cans were then shipped to Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin, between July 21 and 23. 'Consumption of the liquid in these cans will result in unintentional alcohol ingestion,' said a post on the US Food and Drug Administration website. High Noon is a brand of E&J Gallo Winery and does not own Celsius energy drinks. It is now urging consumers to discard cans that were affected in the mix-up and contact the company for a refund. According to a Bloomberg report, a Gallo spokeswoman said that the voluntary recall stemmed from 'a labeling error from our can supplier,' and that it was working with the FDA, retailers and distributors to proactively manage the recall. The spokeswoman refused to provide the name of the supplier. So far, there have been no reports of injury or accidental consumption of alcohol due to the mislabeling.
