“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.

Dear Dr, Sharma,
My wife, 57y old has been suffering from RA for last 30 years. She used to take methotrexate, defza, Pan-D, calcium tabs, MV, folic acid, vitamin D powder etc. to control her disease. Due to these medicines and inability for free movement she is developing gastric problems. Gas is accumulated in her stomach. Most of the time gas from stomach is not released properly. Hence she gets joint pain mainly rt hip joint, rt. shoulder joint and left ankle. She is taking carbveg 30 in morning, Nux vom 200 in evening and lycopodium 200 weekly twice and sometimes lycopodium 30. Will you please suggest which medicines will help her to reduce this gastric problem. Once stomach problem is reduced her rheumatic pain decreases. Your valuable suggestion is requested. I have also mentioned her problems to you earlier but not yet received any reply. Kindly do the needful. Thanks and best regards, Dr. P. Sahoo
Passing gas through the anus is the only way I expel gas.
I don’t burp, I am 27 years old and that’s the way it’s been
for me. My mom said she had me at the doctor constantly because I was always crying because of stomach pain and constipation. The doctors said to give me more fruit and more water. I was breast fed for 10 months and my mom said it was so so difficult getting me to burp. I was taken off
Breast milk and put on pro-soybee formula. Now as an adult I don’t drink cows milk my stomach hurts and I have even more gas than usual. I don’t suffer from constipation now though, it’s usually diareaha. Before work or travel I always give myself 30 minutes extra for bathroom time.
