General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,my name is dr,Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
Bloating can be due to the buildup of gas, fluids, or food in the stomach.The diaphragm assists in breathing, which means bloating can lead to shortness of breath.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Avoid chewing gum.
-Limit your intake of carbonated drinks.
-Avoid “gassy” foods, such vegetables in the cabbage family, dried beans, and lentils.
-Eat slowly and avoid drinking through a straw.
-Use lactose-free dairy products (if you are lactose intolerant).
Hope my answer was helpful,if you have any other question I will be glad to answer,thanks!
