Does eating fast cause bloating?

It can. Eating fast means swallowing more air and chewing less, which leaves more work for the stomach and gut. Sitting down, putting the fork down between bites and eating away from screens reduces discomfort for many people.

• A 15–20 minute meal gives your body time to signal fullness.
• Talking a lot while eating and drinking through straws also add swallowed air.
