Stomach gas is mainly formed because of air swallowed when eating, by bacteria which cause the putrefaction of foods not digested, or by the chemical reaction produced by some food in the intestines.

Some of the products which commonly cause of a lot of gas are:

  1. refined flour
  2. fried dishes
  3. some vegetables like ; cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini.

These cause gas when they are combined with other foods. Also some grains like beans have this effect.

Milk and dairy products cause gas and indigstion in many people who do not produce an enzyme called lactase which is necessary in the absorption of these products. Fruits such as apples produce gas in some people when they are combined with other foods. Often the combination of different types of fruits is what causes gas. Fruit must be eaten alone in half an hour before any other food.

Recommended Treatments :

  1. Walking and exercising a little after meals is recommended to aid in digestion.
  2. Drink some herbal tea and aloe vera juice in addition to garlic and thyme, which are excellent products for digestion.
