Anti Bloating Congee

 

Bloating is a common problem for many of us. It causes uncomfortable feeling, body pain, feeling irritated, nausea and headache. A problem that sound simple but really makes our life disturbed. Usually, we go to the doctor for treatment, or we just buy medicines at the pharmacy. But we can also try to eat food that can reduce or treat bloating problem. It is also better if we try to find the cause of the bloating problem first, as this problem can be caused by many factors. 

Ginger, garlic and some other herbs are often believed to reduce bloating problem. For me it really works. Drinking ginger tea really helps our body to eliminate extra gasses. It also makes our body feel better. 

But besides making ginger tea, I am now making my anti-bloating congee, and eat it for lunch. It can save me some times from brewing tea, as I just need to eat my lunch to feel full and heal the pain. 

This congee is bland in flavor, and it is usually eaten with another meat or egg dish. But you can also add meat like chicken while cooking it. Lets look at the recipe.
