If you need to trim belly bloat in just a few days, here is your healthy plan to making it happen, fast.

What to avoid: Black pepper, nutmeg, cloves, chili powder, hot sauces, onions, garlic, mustard, barbecue sauce, horseradish, ketchup, tomato sauce, and vinegar

Swap it out: Give dishes a flavor boost with fresh or dried herbs like dill, basil, mint, sage, tarragon, and rosemary.

The rationale: Spicy foods can stimulate the release of stomach acid, which can cause irritation.
