function. This things happen to all of us all the time, and even when we
say we will never repeat the same mistake again, dinner parties,
holidays and family meals mean that we are bound to feel bloated at
least a few times a year.
However, overeating is not the only reason you feel bloated.

meats, eating foods like beans and dairy, eating too quickly and
swallowing air.
