Bloating & Wind

Gas produced as food ferments in the gut, or food moving through more slowly than it should. Uncomfortable and common, and rarely anything sinister on its own.

What actually helps
  • Eating slowly — a good deal of it is swallowed air.
  • Simethicone or a carminative herb for the immediate discomfort.
  • Noticing which foods do it, rather than cutting out everything at once.
  • Movement after a meal, which shifts gas better than sitting still.
