What Is The Cause For Excessive Gas And Bloating?

Hi, I have been having digestive issues for over 4 years now. These issues include excessive gas and bloating. I don t experience diahrrea nor constipation. Sometimes I can suppress these symptoms but lately they have been controlling my life to the point where I always worry about my intestines making noises and giving me gas discomfort especially when I m in a quiet room. Most of this activity happens in the evenings... Moreover, I don t drink soda nor other juices just water. Also, I only eat healthy food no junk food yet I suffer with this embarrassing issue... Please help. I need a cure for my guglging and excessive gassy intestines.

Hi..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from excess intestinal gas formation that is leading to excess formation of intestinal gas as well as there can be abdominal discomfort, bloating and gurgling..

It can occur due to number of causes like:
-Intake of certain foods..
-Eating too fast that can entrap excess of air.
-Lactose intolerance, excess intake of dairy.
-Diseases like Crohn's Disease.
-Bacterial infection in intestines.
-Constipation..
-Frequent chewing of chewing gums and sucking candies..
-Excess intake of dairy etc..

As it is a chronic cause you need to consult a Gastroenterologist and get a thorough evaluation done and he can advise you investigations like Endoscopy, blood tests, stool culture etc to confirm the diagnosis and treatment of the cause can resolve the problem..

-As you are doing regular workouts it is a good practice..
-You should also take walk after meals..
-You should take small portions of food every 2 hours.
-Avoid heavy and large fatty meals..
-You should also limit intake of frizzy drinks, smoking and excess chewing gums..
-You can take Simethicone as it help in reducing intestinal gas..
-Activated charcoal pills can be helpful..
-Drink sufficient water..
-chew your food slowly and properly..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
