8Cook legumes and grains with kombu
It might sound like a strange ingredient, but kombu is a healthy, edible seaweed-like Japanese veggie which is popularly used in many Asian dishes. It is highly recommended to add a bit of this to the pot when you are cooking a batch of lentils, beans, or grains like quinoa. Kombu consists of a special enzyme which makes it simpler for the body to break down those foods that are hard on your intestines. This will certainly prevent swelling in the future or help minimize an existing bloated stomach. [8]
