Will eating bananas daily relieve bloating?

I read that if you eat bananas daily that it will help relieve bloating. This doesn’t sound right to me though. Wondering if anyone else has every heard this. I don’t want to lose weight and my stomach is pretty flat except for a buldge around my belly button area. I’m going to the beach and would like for it to be a little flatter. If there is any foods that I could eat to help this I would like to know.

Answer #1

I don’t know about the bloating but they will help relieve leg cramps. Good source of potassium. Sounds like you’re in fairly good shape for your age. Personally I think a “little” bulge in a womans belly is sexy. Did you ever notice the late Marilyn Monroe’s belly? If you look half that good, wear a bikini!

Answer #2

Dear denise40, I’ve never heard that about bannanas but there are many foods to stay away from. Anything that can causes gas such as beans, cabbage, avoiding carbonated drinks etc. all these will cause bloating. To help with bloating drinking lots of water is a must. Some food and drinks cause different reactions in people and what works for you may not work for someone else so you need to try out these things a head of time. Sue…good luck

Answer #3

definitely do NOT eat bananas from bloating. I just lost a tennis tournament because of severe bloating and I am on the comp here now googling “bananas and bloating” to find out why the frick the banana did this to me. I thought the banana would be a good quick fruit/carb snack for between matches but I guess the ‘high fiber’ content I read about on another site can cause bloating. ffft!!

Answer #4
