How to get Instant Relief from Gas?

January 11, 2021

Formation of gas in our stomach is a natural part of the digestion process. Our stomach consists of gut bacteria in the large intestine that ferment carbohydrates, fibres, some starches and sugar (that remain undigested in small intestine) to aid the digestion process. This fermentation process tends to release gases, which in major cases, are harmless. These gases are further released out from our bodies via burps and farts. For instance, people can release gas about 20 times in a day.

Though a small amount of gas is normal, accumulation and building up of excess gas contributes in a variety of abdominal issues like pain, bloating, acidity, and or heartburn. Many-a-times, we tend to swallow gas (air) while eating and drinking that contributes to a gassy stomach.
