Gas or Flatulence occurs when a food you eat does not get digested as well as it should in your stomach and small intestine. When this largely undigested food reaches your large intestine, bacteria will begin to break it down, or in other words it will start to ferment. The product of this fermentation process is a mixture of gasses including: • Carbon dioxide • Methane • Hydrogen • Hydrogen sulfite (which is what typically causes the odor) If you are experiencing a lot of flatulence (about 10 to 18 passages a day is considered “normal” according to the American College of Gastroenterology), this is a giant clue that something is wrong. 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, 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. Homeopathic Remedies like Carbo Vegetabilis and Lycopodium are very effective in treating the underlying disorder as well as Homeopathic Tissue Salt Natrum Sulph. Also, Make sure you supplement your diet with a PROBIOTIC daily or 3 times a week to get the healthy bacteria support. Get Healthy the Natural Way at Reversal Clinic
