Do sparkling water and soda cause bloating?
Yes. The carbon dioxide in fizzy drinks ends up in your stomach and can cause bloating and burping. Soda also adds sugar or sweeteners; plain water, tea and fruit-infused water are lighter swaps.
- If you love bubbles, keep them small and away from main meals.
