How to reduce gas pain?

Have you ever been in a situation where you’re trying so hard not to let out a fart, but the pain becomes unbearable? Yes, gas pains can be quite uncomfortable and downright embarrassing. In fact, you may even find yourself avoiding social situations for fear of unleashing a smelly fart or experiencing stomach discomfort. But fret no more! Here are some proven tips on how to reduce gas pain without having to politely excuse yourself from your next gathering.

Understanding Gas Pain

Before we proceed with the tips and tricks that will help alleviate your gas pains, let’s take a quick look at what causes flatulence (or farting). Our intestines contain several gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, methane and hydrogen. When these gases accumulate due to improper digestion or swallowed air during eating/drinking, they tend to cause abdominal bloating which results in pressure exertion on the intestinal walls hence making us want ‘toot’.

Chew food slowly like 50 times!!

Did you know that when we gobble up our food too fast without chewing it properly (guilty!!) , we tend to swallow extra air which eventually leads to excess gas production?? Crazy isn’t it?! The solution is simple – chew chicken tikka masala like its gum. Seriously though – chew your meals at least 50 times before swallowing them. Not only does this improve digestion and absorption of nutrients but also helps prevent excessive air intake while gulping down mouth watering delicacies.

## Drink lots of H2O

One common factor contributing heavily to digestive problems especially increased flatulence is dehydration-who knew!? Drinking plenty of water aids body functions including proper breakdown of ingested substances thus preventing fermentation which results into bloated & gassy feeling through byproduct formation.^1 It’s recommended that adults drink at least eight glasses of water daily, so drink up and stay hydrated

Avoid foods that cause gas

We all have our favourite meals which make us forget the world. However sometimes, they are also responsible for making our digestive system suffer. For instance,starchy food like potatoes can surcumulate and naturally ferment hence leading to flatulence related symptoms.Also consuming high fat diets which tend to slow down gut motility even further through delayed gastric emptying(removal of food from stomach),making fart time linger even moresigh. Sadly, beer & fizzy drinks contain carbon dioxide and other gases which contribute too much air accumulation.Bubble tea anyone? To avoid unpleasant farts at social gatherings, opt for digestion-friendly alternatives such as non-gaseous vegetables – you know carrots or a simple salad 🥗 with buddy’s poo-poo platter 👌.

Sleep on Your Stomach?!

What position do you sleep in when it’s lights out? Not “missionary”- we were asking about sleeping postion! Sleeping on your back causes your tongue muscle/soft pallet flaps relax thus increasing chances of snoring #bother.And believe it or not – this very same posistion adds pressure onto internal organs compressed by gravity thereby affecting breathing/digestive aspects negatively. Flipping onto your tummy would be a smart move since it relieves pressure off these sensitive areas.Without getting into scientific research,we can agree that ‘toot’ free blood-pumping-solid slumber,is worth its weight in gold!

## Try Peppermint Tea

Did someone say peppermint chocolate cookies ??Oh no..they said…teaaa ? Yes!! Sipping some magical hot juice made from peppermint is actually an awesome solution – not only does it freshen breath but their essential oil content tends relax stomach mucosal lining muscles causing smooth contraction facilitating easier passage of gas out of intestines.^2Now go grab some peppermint tea and let’s brew away those gassy demons.

Exercise Regularly

Have you ever thought to yourself “I don’t have time for exercise – there are other important things like Netflix”? Well, think again! Regardless of your preferred form (running, CrossFit, Zumba) any type of workout helps stimulate GIT and provides kinetic energy for proper movement. Thereby aiding digestion which directly affects emissions~ if you know what we mean_ 😉Get that Hans and Franz routine pumping today!!

Diffusers & Aromatherapy

So..you’ ve heard talk about aromatherapy?Well,it’s time to put it into practice.The effectiveness though is not scientifically solid,but the use of various essential oils extracted from lovely flowers can potentially help prevent/treat some digestive upset.This happens far fetched right ?Notably sweet orange oil elicits a motility effect on small intestine thus shifting contents along intestinal tract minimising stodginess^3.Its worth a shot ,who doesn’t enjoy inhaling fragrant molecules?

## Avoid Straws

At restaurants or cafes,you might find snazzy🤩 straws.That little feature can contribute more than just looks.Infact,sucking in fluids through drinking tubes calls air pockets which end up travelling down the stomach accumulating gases further along.Feel different folks; give your mouth 👄the iconic red-lipped feel while hydrating instead!

Say goodbye to embarrassing farts with these tips on how to reduce gas pain without having to miss out on social events or uncomfortable situations.Surprised by how easy one simple change could relieve so much discomfort? Remember ways such as getting sweaty 💦are so significantly beneficial that fart free lifestyle wait ahead . Stay healthy,gassy mofos !
