Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and a chance to serve you.
The gases in the intestines are produced by the gas producing bacteria in the large intestine called colon.
Another reasons are carbonated drinks, anxiety and stress causing swallowing of the air (aerophagia), some foods and so on.
The first thing you should do is to find and note the factors which increase gases in your case as the causes are different in every person / patient suffering from excessive gas.
The ways by which my patients suffering from gas get a solution is as follows::
-First of all I advise to take a 5 day course of an antibiotic with metronidazole/ tinidazole. Sometimes additions PPI or Ranitidine, Domperidone, antacid gel, activated charcoal tablets help a lot.
- Strictly note down the factors which increase gas production and to avoid them at any cost.
-Eat / chew slowly and nicely.
-Avoid anxiety / stress / tensions.
-Early to bed, early to rise, exercises, plenty of water orally help.
Once you recover, you have to strictly follow the rules; if you start doing the same things causing gases, it will recur.
I hope this answer helps you to get out of the problem you have as this helps all my patients.
Feel free to ask for more if you want further clarification or you want to share some history and your findings. You may please rate this answer before closing.
