Have you ever felt bloated after eating home cooked food?. If yes, then have you ever thought about the reasons for that issue?
It is believed that eating home cooked food is the best way to maintain a healthy diet but sometimes we feel bloated.
What is a bloated feeling?
A tight feeling in the abdomen is bloating and it is a common digestion based problem. Not only processed foods from outside can lead to a bloated feel in us, even home cooked food too. It might be due to certain ingredients or due to portion sizes etc.
Various important reasons of feeling bloated even after eating home cooked food are
Overuse of spices etc:
It is known that many types of spices are used in preparing Indian dishes. Truth is that spices like turmeric, cucurmin and ginger etc would help in digestion whereas spices would irritate our gut lining and lead to gas formation. When we consume red chilly based foods, then it would cause irritation to the stomach lining and produce acid reflux and bloating etc. Even garlic and onion that are usually good for our health would be difficult to digest for some people. It might cause a bloated feel in them. This could be overcome by avoiding excess chillies and instead we could use more mint, coriander and cumin etc.
Intake of high sodium meals:
By eating high sodium or salt based foods, we could get puffiness due to water retention. This would happen even if these foods are made up of fresh ingredients. It must be noted that excess intake of salt could make us feel bloated as it would draw water into the tissues. It was brought to light by a research study in the USA that our gut microbiota would get altered by intake of sodium. This would increase the fluid retention and make us feel bloated. Gradually reducing the intake of salt is important. It is better to use natural herbs and lemon juice to improve the flavour.
Intake of cruciferous vegetables etc:
When fermented in the gut, vegetables like broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower etc having raffinose will produce gas. We could feel bloated if we eat lentils, beans etc rich in oligosaccharides. The presence of sulphur compounds in radish could lead to bloating in us. It is possible to avoid bloating after eating lentils and peas etc by soaking them overnight in water and discarding the water before cooking them. By this, gas producing compounds would get broken down. By cooking cruciferous vegetables with digestion friendly spices like ginger, cumin or fennel and avoid bloated feeling.
Eating food very fast:
When we eat the food fast without proper chewing, we would swallow more air. This could result in bloating also. Bloating can also occur in us if we eat food by lying down or eating a large meal in the night etc. To reduce swallowed air, it is necessary to chew the food properly. It is necessary to avoid heavy meals at night.
Dairy sensitivity etc:
If a person is lactose intolerant, then he or she could get bloated. It must be noted that persons who are sensitive to dairy products like paneer, milk, curd etc. could get bloating issues. Instead of dairy products, the person could opt for alternatives like soy milk or almond milk etc.
Cooking oils and fats etc:
There are chances of getting bloated by excessive oils, fats, ghee etc. Oily or fried foods would result in bloated feeling also. It is essential to reduce oiling and instead opt for grilling, roasting, steaming etc.

The kidneys present in some persons lose their ability to function well. As a result, the kidneys in these persons won`t be able to remove waste and extra water from the blood. The shocking piece of information revealed by the World Health Organisation or WHO is that millions of people suffer from CKD or chronic kidney diseases and this CKD would lead to kidney failures when not treated properly.
Until significant damage has taken place, the kidney failure symptoms usually go unnoticed only. Point is that early detection of kidney failure is very essential to avoid serious complications.
Who is at greater risk of getting kidney failure problem?
It is noteworthy that persons with diabetes, high blood pressure and family history have more chances of getting kidney failures.
Please be careful regarding these early signs of kidney failure and take care.
Fatigue and weakness:
Waste would collect inside the body due to kidney failure resulting in anaemia or shortage of RBCs. Performing daily tasks would be difficult as we could feel dizzy, weak etc.
Swelling in feet, ankles etc:
The feet and ankles would swell and it is a sign of kidney failure. The reason is due to the retention of fluid. Swelling might occur even in face also.
Changes in urination:
Those with kidney failure would show urinary changes like frequent urination in the night, dark foamy and blood coloured urine and reduced urine output inspite of more water intake etc.
Persistent nausea and vomiting:
It is noteworthy that build up of toxins in the bloodstream could result in nausea, vomiting etc. There would be loss of appetite. Body would not be able to maintain energy.
Breathing issues:
The collection of fluid due to kidney failure would cause breathing issues even after doing mild activities.
Skin itching and dryness etc:
Waste from the blood is removed by the kidneys. Kidney failure could lead to toxins accumulation and further to skin dryness, itching etc.
Muscle cramps, twitching etc:
Electrolyte balance would get affected due to kidney failure. This could lead to muscle cramps, twitching etc.
High BP and heart disease etc:
By balancing sodium and fluid levels, kidneys regulate blood pressure or BP in us. Kidney failure could lead to high BP and more chances of getting heart disease etc. This is also an important early sign of kidney failure.
Metallic taste and bad breath:
Persons with kidney failure would have metallic taste in their mouths, bad breath etc and this is due to high concentration of waste in the blood or uraemia.
Difficulty in concentration:
Our brain function would get affected due to toxins in the blood because of kidney failure. This would result in poor memory, poor concentration etc.
How can kidney failure be detected early?
Point to be noted is that kidney failure can be detected at the early stage itself through blood tests, urine tests, routine checkups etc. The progression of the disease could be slowed down by this. It is necessary to pay attention to the early signs mentioned above and get treated. Please take care.
