Mar 24, 2022

Introduction

You get intestinal gas naturally when swallowing and digesting. The digestive system can tolerate some gases, but excessive or trapped gas can cause discomfort and affect your appetite. You might be having indigestion, feeling bloated, burping, or frequently passing gas. These discomforts can be frustrating especially when it starts to affect your daily life such as being unable to enjoy food as much or having difficulty concentrating on your work. Here are some possible causes of having too much stomach gas:

Food

Too much fiber
Although promoting healthy digestive movement, eating too much fiber further increases your intestinal gas

Fructose
Found in certain fruits and food products. Poor absorption or consume in high amount causing you with too much intestinal gas

Greasy, fatty food
Your stomach needs a long digestion time for these foods, thus producing more gases

Sugar substitute
Your stomach might not digest it properly, which then produces excess gas

Dairy Products
Certain people may have poor digesting ability of dairy sugar (lactose). This can lead to fermentation by intestinal bacteria’s that produce gas

Carbonated, gassy drinks
Increase your chance of having accumulated or trapped gas in the intestine

Eating Habits

Too fast, too much
You swallow more air when eating too quickly. Meanwhile, over-eating means a longer digestion time that increases gas production in your stomach/gut.

Drinking through a straw
You will swallow in some air at the same time

Talking while eating
Increase your opportunity of swallowing too much air

Chewing gum or sucking candies
Chewing and sucking action make you swallow more often, thus accumulating more intestinal gas
