☕️💥 Morning cuppa making you feel bloated? Here’s the scoop! Olivia Molyneux, a top-notch gastro dietitian from London, reveals that it might not be your tea or coffee causing the bloat, but that splash of milk you add! 🥛
Many of us can’t start our day without our beloved cup of tea or coffee, but if you’re experiencing bloating shortly after, lactose could be the culprit. Lactose, found in regular cow’s milk, can cause bloating for those with lactose intolerance because it isn’t fully digested. Instead, it reaches the colon and ferments, leading to that uncomfortable bloated feeling. 😮
The NHS highlights that lactose intolerance doesn’t just mean a dodgy tummy—symptoms can also include headaches, fatigue, and even joint pain. The good news? These can often be managed by reducing or cutting out lactose-rich foods.
Olivia suggests that anyone suspecting lactose intolerance should work with a dietitian to guide them through testing and reintroducing certain foods, ensuring you don’t cut out more than necessary.
One person took to TikTok to ask Olivia: Why the bloat even with water? Olivia’s advice? Bloating can have countless causes and getting to the root requires a closer look at your lifestyle, diet, and any medical conditions. So, seek out advice from professionals like GPs or gastro dietitians.
Is your morning routine leaving you puffed up? Consider giving lactose-free milk alternatives a try or consulting a specialist to nip it in the bloat! 🌿 Remember, your comfort matters. Cheers to happy, healthier mornings! 🫖✨#HealthTips #GutHealth #LactoseIntolerance #MorningRoutine #DietitianAdvice
