What Causes Gas and Bloating (And How to Fix It)

Gas forms naturally as bacteria ferment undigested food in the intestines.
Swallowed air while eating or drinking adds to the buildup.
Certain foods like beans, cabbage, and carbonated drinks produce more gas.
Eating too quickly traps extra air in your digestive tract.
Bloating occurs when gas stretches the stomach or intestines.
Walking or gentle movement can help release trapped gas.
Fiber is good — but adding it too fast can increase bloating temporarily.
Peppermint tea and probiotics may reduce discomfort naturally.
Persistent bloating could signal food intolerances or digestive imbalance.
Small habits — slower bites, mindful eating — make a big difference in comfort.
