When to see a doctor
I advise you visit you doctor for professional help when you experience diarrhea, have a sudden pale and irritating skin, or persistent indigestive issues for over two weeks
Why bread is viewed as ‘bad’ for weight loss, bloating etc.
Bread has a high glycemic index which is linked to decreased insulin sensitivity that tends to add your BMI and trigger an increase in blood sugar enhancing your obesity or weight gain chances. Bread is mainly made of wheat which has a high glycemic index and is loaded with gluten that worsen bloating, stomach gas and other digestive issues.
Other food related triggers of bloating
I suggest you limit your consumption of beans, dairy products, carbonated drinks, wheat, onions, garlic, lentils, cabbages, carrots and other cruciferous veggies as they tend to cause and worsen bloating.
How to beat the bloat naturally
I recommend you add you water or fluid intake, eat more foods high in fiber, exercise regularly, avoid sodas or chewing gum, limit your sodium intake and adopt healthy diets.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
