What steps can I take when my stomach has a lot of gas?

When you have a lot of gas in your stomach, there are several steps you can take to feel better.

Dietary Changes:

• Eat slowly and chew food thoroughly to prevent swallowing air.
• Avoid carbonated drinks and foods known to cause gas, like beans and broccoli.
• Consider keeping a food diary to identify specific foods that cause you discomfort.

Lifestyle Adjustments:

• Stay active with regular exercise to help move gas through your digestive system.
• Try to manage stress, as it can affect your digestion.

When to Seek Help: If these steps do not help, or if you have other symptoms like severe pain or weight loss, it’s a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider. They can help figure out if there is another reason for your gas and suggest treatments.
