bloating and gas
Gas and Bloating can be resolved with natural solutions.
If you frequently experience abdominal bloating and gas, then you are no stranger to the inconveniences it can bring. Having abdominal bloating and gas can make you feel embarrassed at social events and uncomfortable in your everyday life.
Fortunately, gas and abdominal bloating are rarely lethal. This condition is generally caused by your diet or your digestion – or both, but both factors are something you can resolve with natural solutions.
Many people experience bloating and gas together and notice the two symptoms being interrelated. However, most cases of abdominal bloating are actually caused by gas and may have different manifestations.
Frequently asked questions
WHAT CAUSES GAS AND BLOATING?
Whether it manifests as abnormal amounts of belching or flatulence, there may be several underlying causes to gas, including:
- Foods that may be hard-to-digest, such as beans, peas, lentils, cabbage, onions, broccoli, and cauliflower
- Poor Digestive Functions – when your stomach is weak and cannot break down the food completely
- A stomach virus or bacterial infection, such as h. pylori or e. coli
- Inflammatory bowel disease, or other related chronic conditions
Indigestion can also be a common cause of gas and can be unrelated to the food you consume. That’s because your body depends on your digestive system to break down the food to turn it into the energy and nutrients the body needs. When your digestive functions are impaired or disrupted, gas and bloating can occur.
Factors like overeating, excessive alcohol consumption or side effects on medications can also cause indigestion.
