Any tips to get rid of bloating? Fast?!

I have my Christmas party tomorrow night and although my dress is quite stretchy and fairly forgiving, I am ridiculously bloated today... Not an unusual situation for me, it's just that I mostly wear jeans/hoodies etc not clingy party dresses!

Any tips for this evening/during the day tomorrow to reduce or minimise bloating? Once I eat the 3 course dinner and have a few glasses of wine it'll all be pointless but I'd like to at least start the evening feeling reasonable about how I look!

Drink loads of water!

Mint and fennel tea.

Indigestion tablets!

Gaviscon works very well for me.

Yes peppermint tea if very good. Try to keep off grains (wheat, oats etc) and fruit. Perhaps have some eggs for breakfast then a salad with a lean protein for lunch. Boring but effective!

Stay off carbs

Just don't eat too much....excess fibre can make you bloat. Lots and lots of water and SPANX.

grapefruit juice, lots of water, no processed food/sugar, stick to smoothies, fruit, salads.
ditto the spanx!

Perfect thanks for the tips! Got the spanx, got peppermint capsules and will stick to salad for lunch tomorrow. Will stay off the carbs so that there is less to soak up the wine
