“Gas problem” is something that is mostly harmless but can be very disturbing and incapacitating for the person who suffers from it. Its implications are diverse; ranging from being a mere social embarrassment to quite a troublesome yet benign gastric issue. The big question is why do some individuals suffer more from gas than others do? The answer lies in the fact that some of us are biologically more prone to have this problem where as for others, eating habits contribute majorly to this disorder. This gas problem exhibits mainly in three ways. Patients complain of being bloated around the abdomen or passing of too much gas from the anus (flatulence) and thirdly belching of gas from mouth (eructation).
Belching of air or eructation occur mainly due to swallowed air (aerophagia) during eating, drinking. This is also associated with increased intake of carbonated drinks. Excessive salivation also leads to increase in the swallowing of air.. Bloating of the abdomen is usually related to IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) or chronic constipation and rarely is it associated with serious gut problems. People with IBS have this increased sensitivity of the intestinal walls. This sensitivity causes even little gas to give the impression of excessive bloating of abdomen.
It is important to realize that some amount of gas formation is very normal and is produced naturally during the process of digestion. Flatus (gas passed from anus) is a metabolic byproduct of intestinal bacteria and is not caused by swallowed air .An average normal adult has 13 to 19 gas passages every day. But the condition can be really bad for some individuals -one study noted a person who expelled gas 140 times daily, with 70 passages in a period of just four hours.
Passing of gas from anus is mostly related with the food that we eat or with the kind of bacteria that we have in our intestines. Flatulence is generally produced when undigested food is acted upon by bacteria in our large intestines. Certain food substances produce more flatulence than others because they contain more indigestible carbohydrates. Substances that lead to overproduction of gas are , beans, dairy products, onions, celery, carrots, sprouts, fruits (raisins, bananas, apricots) and complex carbohydrates like dals . People with lactase deficiency and celiac disease (gut allergy to wheat) also suffer from excessive flatulence. Gases like Methane, Hydrogen and Hydrogen Sulphide are the main component of flatulence. Hydrogen sulphide is responsible for the odor of the flatus.
Homeopathy offers a very effective cure for excessive gas problem. Homeopathic medicines Carbo Veg ,Lycopodium and Nux Vomica are few of the very effective ones. Carbo Veg can be used for nearly all kinds of excessive gas conditions though more suited in conditions where the symptoms of bloating appear immediately after eating and everything that has been eaten seems to get converted into gas. Lycopodium is more suited for patients that have the problem of passing more flatulence and also when their problem tends to increase towards the evening hours. Nux Vomica is one of the most effective medicines for our digestive system and is used in conditions that are incidental to modern living like excess of alcohol and improper eating habits.

Hi Dr.! I am 26 years old female. I’ve been under some stress from last last few months along with some acidity issue, my biggest problem is the constant belching that is ruining my life. I’ve tried to cure my stomach issue and belching through both aloepathy and homeopathy but nothing works on my belching. I suspect it might be Aerophagia, how can it be cured? Please help. And my homeopathic doctor has already given me a medicine with some quantity of nux vomica, it did reduce my nausea and bad taste in mouth, but didn’t stop belching.
Sir,
I am suffering with gastritis for the past 10 years, kindly solution please.
can you please help with TMAU gas coming out of my anus all the time, it is killing my career and social life? please help…..
I did forget to point out that this pressure does also build up in between food. It does not happen only when I have eaten. Also there seems no gas to be relieved. It feels similar to when a child, when one swallows large amounts of air so one can burp, but this has no air to burp up.
Thnkyou
Denise
I do trustyou can advise. I seem to be swallowing air. I have a build up of pressure in esophagus, then stomach area base of ribs. The pressure in esophagus is so much my jaw and inside my head feel pressured. I am a vegetarian, no gluten (which has ended 35 years of migraines, love carbonated water, diskike regular water. Nervous about intruders at night. The pressure is like a pushing out. Although I have felt that swallowing my small amounts of saliver in morning is slightly building pressure, it does seem worse early evening onward. Thank you for any assistance
