Many people know how uncomfortable and frustrating abdominal bloating can be. Your stomach feels full and stretched, clothes become tight, and sometimes even normal daily activities are unpleasant. I struggled with this for a long time. My stomach would bloat frequently, and I constantly felt heavy and tired. Then I started eating one simple natural mixture every morning — and after a month I realized that I had almost forgotten what bloating feels like.
Before sharing this recipe, it is important to understand what bloating actually is and why it happens.
What is bloating?
Bloating is often caused by gas buildup in the intestines, a condition known as meteorism. It frequently occurs when digestion is slowed or disrupted. Gas-filled intestines create a feeling of pressure and fullness in the abdomen and can be accompanied by cramps or mild pain.
People may also experience:
- gurgling sounds in the stomach
- heaviness after meals
- increased gas
- changes in bowel movements
Bloating can happen occasionally in healthy people, but it may also be linked with digestive conditions.
Possible causes of bloating
Bloating can have many causes. Some of the more common ones include:
- chronic pancreatitis – when the pancreas does not produce enough enzymes, food is poorly digested, causing gas and discomfort after eating
- irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) – the intestines are structurally normal but function abnormally, causing bloating, pain, diarrhea, or constipation
- dysbiosis (imbalance of gut bacteria) – when harmful bacteria dominate, they produce gases such as methane, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia
- lactose intolerance – lack of the enzyme needed to digest milk sugar leads to gas and bloating after dairy products
- intestinal obstruction – in rare cases, gas cannot pass because of narrowing, tumors, or polyps
Diet, stress, eating too fast, carbonated drinks, and lack of fiber may also contribute to bloating.
If bloating is severe, persistent, accompanied by fever, vomiting, blood in stool, or significant weight loss, medical evaluation is important.
The natural mixture I tried
I discovered a simple, natural breakfast mixture that many people use to support digestion. It is full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. After using it regularly for a month, I noticed several changes: less bloating, improved bowel movements, lighter feeling after meals, and even healthier hair, nails, and skin.
This mixture:
- supports digestion
- helps regulate bowel movements
- may reduce constipation
- provides fiber and antioxidants
- gently stimulates metabolism
- supports the immune system
Some people may also notice gradual weight reduction, not because of “magic fat-burning,” but due to better digestion, more fiber, and healthier breakfast habits.
Important note
This is not a medical treatment and does not replace doctor’s care. People with chronic diseases, intestinal disorders, food allergies, or special dietary needs should consult a professional before major diet changes.
Ingredients you will need
- 5–6 dried prunes
- 1 cup kefir or light yogurt
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed oil
- 2 tablespoons oat flakes
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Each ingredient has its own benefits.
Prunes are rich in fiber and natural sorbitol, which help relieve constipation and support bowel movement.
Kefir or yogurt contain probiotics that help balance gut bacteria.
Flaxseed oil provides healthy fats and may gently stimulate intestinal function.
Oat flakes are high in soluble fiber, helping you feel full longer and supporting digestion.
Cocoa powder adds antioxidants and pleasant taste.
How to prepare the mixture
Preparation starts in the evening.
- Soak the prunes in about 100 ml of hot water for 10–15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl mix cocoa powder, flaxseed oil, and oat flakes.
- Add kefir or yogurt and stir until smooth.
- Chop the softened prunes and add them to the mixture.
- Mix again thoroughly and place the bowl in the refrigerator overnight.
In the morning you will have a ready, nutritious breakfast.
How it works
This breakfast is full of fiber, healthy fats, and probiotics. These elements:
- improve intestinal motility
- soften stool
- support beneficial gut bacteria
- reduce gas buildup
- help stabilize digestion
- may reduce cravings later in the day
Because digestion improves and constipation decreases, the stomach feels flatter and lighter. This is why many people say their bloating disappears.
About weight loss
Some people, including myself, noticed a decrease in weight after a few weeks. This usually happens because:
- digestion becomes more regular
- portion control improves
- unhealthy snacks are reduced
- the body retains less fluid
However, it is important to remember:
- not all weight loss is fat loss
- healthy change is gradual
- your worth is not defined by numbers on a scale
If your goal is weight management, prioritize energy, strength, good sleep, and well-being — not extreme dieting.
When to be cautious
Do not use this mixture without medical advice if you:
- have severe stomach or intestinal disease
- have diabetes and use medication
- are allergic to any ingredient
- have gallbladder or pancreas problems
- experience persistent abdominal pain or bleeding
Also, prunes and flaxseed oil may have a laxative effect, so large amounts can cause diarrhea.
Final thoughts
For one month I prepared and ate this simple breakfast mixture every day. During this time my bloating almost disappeared, my digestion became more regular, and I felt lighter and more comfortable. My hair, nails, and skin also seemed healthier, likely due to vitamins, minerals, and better overall nutrition.
This mixture is not a miracle cure, but it can be a gentle, natural support for digestion. Listen to your body, be patient, and remember that your health is always more important than any quick promise.
