Gases can be embarrassing when we’re around other people and it’s a very common problem. Caused by consumption of fatty and fiber-rich foods, in addition to antacids, fizzy drinks, sedentary lifestyle, constipation and others, the main symptoms that accompany intestinal gas are bloated stomach, flatulence, constipation, intestinal cramps and pain abdominals. It is essential to consume plenty of water throughout the day and avoid drinking sodas and other fizzy drinks. Milk and dairy products should also be avoided, as well as foods rich in carbohydrates.
