Does eating yogurt reduce bloating?

Many people say that eating yogurt causes stomach pain and reflux, but my wife thinks it reduces bloating and is good for the digestive system, right? (Truong, 30 years old, Hanoi ).

During Tet, people often consume foods high in fat and protein, which can easily cause digestive disorders, bloating, and discomfort. Yogurt contains many beneficial bacteria, which helps balance intestinal microflora, effectively reducing bloating and indigestion. Yogurt prevents constipation and improves digestion. People with diabetes and obesity can use unsweetened yogurt.

Many people fear that eating yogurt will make stomach pain worse, but the acid concentration in yogurt is insignificant. In addition, lactic acid converted from yogurt has the effect of inhibiting the development of HP (the culprit causing gastric and duodenal ulcers). Fermented bacteria in yogurt help strengthen local immunity, inhibiting the development of factors that cause stomach pain.

Therefore, people can eat yogurt after meals and should not eat when hungry, including people with stomach pain. Do not eat too much yogurt in a day.

Limit processed foods such as sausages, bacon, ham, pickles, and pickles. Do not eat foods that are too hot, as this can change the lining of the throat, mouth, esophagus, and intestines.
