1. Cut back on sugar-free gum
... and candies and other foods containing artificial sweeteners like sorbitol and aspartame, which aren't digestible and trigger bloating, says Dr. Christine Gerbstadt, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
2. Don't eat and run
When you eat in a hurry, you swallow a lot of gas-producing air. Chew food well, with your mouth closed, and sip straight from a cup instead of from a straw.
3. Watch the raw veggies
Prone to puffiness? Raw produce can be tough for your body to break down, leading to bloat. Cooking vegetables makes them easier for your stomach to handle.

Her suggestion? When you're anxious, get up and go for a stroll to move bubbles out of your tummy and ease your nerves.
5. Get tested
