What causes gas?
Common causes of gas include:
* Swallowed air. If swallowed air is not burped up, it passes through the digestive tract and is released through the anus as flatus. Excessive air swallowing may cause hiccups.
* Foods and beverages. The amount of gas that different foods cause varies from person to person.
* Constipation. This can cause bloating but generally does not increase gas.
* Medicines or nutritional supplements. Both prescription and non-prescription medicines, as well as dietary supplements, can cause bloating and gas as side effects.
* A medical condition, such as a bowel obstruction or Crohn's disease.
* Changes in hormone levels. It is common for women to have bloating right before their periods because their bodies retain fluid.
Can I treat or prevent gas?
You may be able to prevent gas by changing your eating and drinking habits. Occasionally gas is a symptom of a medical condition that requires treatment.
Examples of gas-producing foods are:
* Vegetables such as artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers, green peppers, onions, peas, radishes, and raw potatoes.
* Beans and other legumes.
* Fruits such as apricots, bananas, melons, peaches, pears, prunes, and raw apples.
* Wheat and wheat bran.
* Eggs.
* Carbonated drinks, fruit drinks, beer, and red wine.
* Fried and fatty foods.
* Sugar and sugar substitutes.
* Milk and other dairy products, especially in people who have trouble digesting lactose, the main sugar found in milk.
* Packaged foods that contain lactose, such as breads, cereal, and salad dressing.
Dietary supplements such as Beano may help to prevent gas.
Some people get relief from gas from products containing simethicone, a medication that dissolves gas bubbles. Nonprescription medications with simethicone include Gas-X and Mylicon.
try vinegar
Vegetables will cause gas. Have you tried Beano? It might help.
Yea, beano should help alot, and just make sure u arent hungry
Just pick up some beano...works like a charm.
And don't worry we all do it.
Quite common for vegetarians to be gassy. The human caecum is undersized (it's tiny really). That's the part of your stomach that hosts the bacteria that break down cellulose and other plant matter.
People aren't made to process an exclusively plant diet - if you eat fish (a lot of vegetarians do) then ramp up the amount of fish you're eating you should find you're less gassy and healthier in general - there are a lot of nutrients and trace elements you're get from fish that you won't get from an exclusively vegetarian diet.
