Avoid Flatulence And Gas In The Intestines

In addition to the digestive teas after meals, you can also use various flatulence-reducing spices to prepare the food.

Flatulence and gas can be very uncomfortable for those affected. They are a sign of digestive problems that can arise from a variety of causes.

Incorrect eating habits, foods that are not properly digested, the lack of digestive enzymes, stress and emotions and much more can be the triggers.

In this post, we explain various causes and recommend simple home remedies that can help solve the problem naturally without drugs.

Why are gases created?

There are various reasons for this,  then you will find a brief summary:

• The food is not chewed properly but swallowed too quickly and while speaking – more air is swallowed, which can lead to flatulence.
• Foods that then ferment in the stomach due to a lack of stomach acids.

• Food that is not properly assimilated by the body. Most of these contain gluten and lactose.
• An unbalanced intestinal flora.
• Consumption of foods that promote flatulence: legumes, cabbage, onion, artichokes, etc.
• Consuming constipation additives that are high in fiber – such as flaxseed.

Indirect factors can also promote the gases :

• Stress and emotional tension
• Sedentary lifestyle

Relax with lemon balm

First of all, you should learn to eat right: slowly, without hurrying, in a quiet atmosphere, alone or in pleasant company without doing other things.

If you suffer from nervousness, stress or anxiety, or if you have to eat in hectic situations without being able to change this, you can also have relaxation teas in the morning or afternoon before you eat.

One of the best remedies is lemon balm, which has a calming and digestive effect. If it is not possible to drink the tea, lemon balm is also available in tablet form.

Ginger to aid digestion

Ginger is very helpful for various ailments. In this article  i us nteressiert the ability of these roots, the production of promoting digestive juices and hence improve the digestive function.

Ginger is not recommended for heartburn, but it is otherwise very helpful to take it every day before a meal. Ginger can be taken as a tea or chewed raw. You can also  buy confit ginger,  which tastes deliciously sweet and hot and is very healthy.

Cook with caraway seeds and fennel

It is also a good habit to season your food with  herbs that relieve gas. The most effective are caraway seeds and fennel, which are particularly recommended for cooking legumes and bloating vegetables (as mentioned at the beginning).

These give the food a special taste and can prevent flatulence.

Enzymes in pineapple and papaya

After meat or fish with vegetables or salads as the main course, fresh pineapple or papaya are recommended as dessert, because these tropical fruits contain enzymes that promote the digestion of proteins.

After meals with flour or starch (pasta, pizza, bread, potatoes) you should avoid these fruits, otherwise digestive problems could occur.

In general, only apples and pears are recommended after eating, the remaining fruits make digestion difficult because they ferment and can generate gases. Fruits are healthier in between as a morning and afternoon snack.

In pharmacies and health food stores there are also food supplements with enzymes for better digestion. You can take this for a while, but you shouldn’t overdo it, as you should encourage the stomach to digest independently.
