Bloating is caused because of wrong food combinations. And it can also be caused because of rotting of food material that has not been eliminated from the body. So when the new food goes in, it mixes with the old settled food and rots and causes burps and farting.

If we consume as much raw as possible, the burping and farting which is due to rotting of undigested food will not happen. If you start raw initially, take water enema for a month. Consult an expert for guidance. You might be bloated ,farting and burping even when you start raw and avoid animal protein because old matter is still making the raw food rot. You need to juice a lot, excrete old waste for things to improve. 

When the colon is lined with rotting waste, unwanted bacteria and foods that was not digested properly in the stomach and before coming into the colon. The causes still remains the same - foods such as dairy eggs, gluten, meat, seafood consumed over a long period of time with heavy fats and proteins that weakens the bile and the hydro chloric acid in the gut. With weaker stomach acids and and ineffective weak bile, the food does not to get digested properly and leaks into the intestine while the pathogens feed on them . Overtime it reaches the colon which is the final dumping ground. This causes inflammation, pains constipation, diarrhoea and can also result in piles, fissures and yeast infections on the excretory organs.

To heal this condition., It is best that you start cleaning the  GUT, which in turn will clean the liver, which in turn will be ready to absorb and deliver nutrients throughout the body and eventually cleaning the intestine as well.  If the previous organs in the process have done their job, the colon will not have to take a hit. it’s very important that the liver starts doing its job to heal any kind of intestinal issues/organs of excretion so that the unwanted food, pathogens and heavy metals doesn’t end up in the intestines and colon. Ideally these are supposed to thrown out naturally after altering its state, but when they end up as-is, they attract more issues in the colon which the colon might not be geared up to do 

When body organs are clean, they do their job perfectly well. With a right lifestyle this can be achieved . You must switch to a low fat plant based lifestyle. Low fat here because fats also come in low % from raw foods like fruits vegetables and greens. 

1. Give rest to the digestion and colon by juicing majorly for few days with greens,  fruit or veg juices only in abundance like it’s your meal - 3-4 lts for a week. 
2. Stop the consumption of dairy, eggs, meat, seafood
3. Stop all forms of fats ( oils , grease , nuts seeds ) that will add load to an already compromised liver
4. Stop all forms of foods that are purchased
5. Go raw on greens, fruits majorly for one full month/ 2 months as conditions improve
6. Juices till 12, fruits for lunch, vegetables and greens chewed completely and eaten for dinner . 3-4 cups of greens
7. Cooked food post that has to be only once a day without using oils or ghee with 30% grains that are gluten free and oilfree, unpolished, unrefined 
8. Wheat and foods with maida wheat has to be avoided 
9. Sugar and processed sweetners avoided 
10. Place a cold wet towel daily on the abdomen for 30 mins. Start with 5 mins hot towel and 25 mins cold
11. Exposure to sunlight for 30 mins
12. Yoga pranayama 
13. Practice mental peace, leading a stress free life, free of any form of negativity 
14. Take water enema for a month without interfering with your normal bowel movements after constipation is resolved. Consult an expert as needed 
15. Expect some infections as you are on a healthy lifestyle as the junk comes out of the body. No medicines must be taken at any cost. Only juicing.

Let us know if you have any questions

Be blessed

Hi there, 

Constipation and bloating can occur even without any underlying disease such as dehydration, lack of dietary fibres, and sedentary lifestyle habits and wrong eating habits. The best remedy for treating constipation and abdominal bloating is to eat a fibre rich diet, increase a fluid intake and an active physical activity on a daily basis.

• Dehydration is one of the commonest reason for constipation. Increase your daily fluid intake and keep your body more hydrated in order to prevent constipation.

• High fibrous diet is highly recommended to treat constipation. Fibre adds bulk to your stools, which helps aid in the bowel movement. A mix of both soluble and non-soluble fibres such as oat bran, barley, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, wheat bran, vegetables and whole grains helps soften the stool and make them evacuate easily.

• Consume more fruits like Apple, pears, banana, oranges and grapes as they are rich in fibres. Include more dark leafy greens and vegetables in your diet as they can provide you with all the required nutrients to maintain a healthy gut.

• Daily exercise such as walking, brisk walk, jog or any other form of exercises may encourage a bowel movement by stimulating muscles in the lower part of the digestive system. Overweight and obesity can also be a contributing factor for constipation and most other abdominal problem. A minimum of 45 minute to an hour of daily exercises can help maintain your body weight as well.

• Avoid oily fried foods, every maida products like pastries, cake, muffins, pizza, biscuits and cookies, artificial sweeteners and processed foods.

•Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, carbonated drinks and every other cold beverage, they are the main cause for both constipation and bloating of abdomen.

NATURAL CURE FOR ACIDITY,INDIGESTION AND FLATULENCE.[GAS FORMATION]
Flatulence is the most common disease that we come across. There are many cases in which drug treatments to this trouble have led to further complications one vital organ or the other.
Many readers may not understand the trouble from this name. I shall therefore give the meaning of this Latin based name:
Flatulence: the presence of excessive amounts of air or gases in the stomach,or intestine, leading to distention of the organs.
Many people call it 'gastric' trouble. The term 'gastric' means that which pertains to the gastrum or the stomach. So it only denotes that it is a trouble in the stomach, but not specify the exact type of trouble. There is another trouble called ;gastritis', which means inflammation of the stomach. This is often confused with the 'gas trouble'. Of course if this flatulence stays for a long time, comblned with palliative treatments with drugs, it can lead to 'gastritis' also.
TREATMENT------
1 Never eat when hunger has not matured. [Read Practical Nature Cure by Acharya K. Lakshmana Sharma]. You must learn as to how hunger is born and as to how you can recognise it.
2 Never eat in haste, we work, we earn and do so many things to enjoy our meal. If it is eaten in haste, how can one enjoy the food?
3 When one eats in haste, one cannot masticate the food well. Remember the rule that solids should be drunk and that liquids should be eaten. Remember that there are no teeth inside the stomach to grind it again.
4 Do not have too many courses of food in a single meal. When taste changes, satiation will not appear even if the stomach has become full.
5 Squat in the Indian style for eating. The flexure at the level of the abdomen caused by so squatting helps to limit the quantity of eating. Bend well forward until the mouthful of food put in is chewed and turned almost into a liquid and then drink it.
6 Do not talk while you eat. The Vedic Mantra teaches us that we should eat silently.
7 Do not take too much of chilies Avoid dry red chilies. Green chilies can be used whole removing even the stalk along with vegetables while boiling and removed after cooking.
8 Minimize the intake of salt. The more the salt, the more is the unnatural thirst and the artificial need for drinking water during and after the meal. This will dilute the digestive juices and digestion will be upset
9 Dehusked daals have lost the best part of the whole grain. The remaining part is a very good gas-producing material and there is no wonder that if you take plenty of daal you do suffer of flatulence. If you prefer to have daal in your food, have it in the germinated form. That will help avoiding constipation.
10 Avoid eating if you have no time to rest after the meal. Remember that work and digestion do not go on hand in hand. No one will go weak or get diseased by avoiding eating till he has the right time to eat. Shake off that fear..
11 Never take a breakfast. Breakfast is unindian [Read Eating For Health by L. Ganesa Sarma] Hunger cannot have matured in the morning. it could only have been born.
12 A high protein meal must be justified by sufficient amount of manual labor. Sedentary worker need more of bulky foods.
