Foods that cause excess gas
What problem can cause excessive gas?
1) You’re eating a lot of fiber-rich food. Usually, the food you’re eating can be to blame for any excessive gas you’re having. 2) You have a food sensitivity. “Many people as they get older have difficulty digesting milk products,” Dr. Schnoll-Sussman says. 3) You’re swallowing too much air…like literally. One commonly overlooked cause of gas is actually ingesting air, which causes it to accumulate in the esophagus, according to the Mayo Clinic. 4) You’re eating large meals too quickly. It’s simply a fact that large, fatty meals take a long time to digest and, therefore, hang out longer in your gut and 5) You don’t go for that post-meal walk or stretch. After eating a deliciously satisfying meal it’s tempting to just sit back and relax. 6) You might have a gastrointestinal condition.
