What is ‘Trapped Wind’?

Before delving into how one can sleep better while experiencing trapped winds, it’s essential first to understand what causes excess gas also referred as flatulence occurrs – trust us; there are likely many misconceptions about its roots!

Firstly : gas buildup occurs when our digestive system breaks down foods that produce large amounts of certain gases such as nitrogen (which constitutes around 78.1% of air), hydrogen (that makes up approximately 20% percent) along with small traces(Less than 1%) of other gases — which will eventually exit through either burping / passing stool at various different rates depending upon factors including diet regime etc.

Secondly, an additional culprit may exist – thanks bacteria (!). These microscopic creatures live within our intestines & contribute toward breaking down food matter using enzymes thereby leading towards production o aforementioned various gases plus others such as methane, carbon dioxide.
