To reduce bloating, you should focus on what NOT to eat, because bloating is usually caused by carbohydrate malabsorption. Therefore, reducing carbs in the diet will reduce bloating. The Low FODMAP diet is an example of a low carb diet that has a very good track record of helping this problem. Check it out here: https://www.katescarlata.com/fodmaps-101
If this doesn't work, then seek evaluation with a GI doctor.
Good luck.
You need to find out why you’ve been bloated, I think.
