Feeling uncomfortable and gassy after eating is a problem that bothers many people today. The main reason for this is problems in the digestive process. The culprits are:
Eating habits: Eating food quickly without chewing can cause air to enter the stomach. Eating while talking and drinking drinks through a straw can cause excessive air to enter the stomach.
Foods that are difficult to digest: Nuts, tubers (e.g. potatoes, yams), cabbage, and broccoli can cause gas in some people. In addition, those who have difficulty digesting dairy products (Lactose Intolerance) may also experience severe gas trouble.
Carbonated drinks: The carbon dioxide in soda and cool drinks causes gas to accumulate in the stomach. This leads to bloating and discomfort.
Constipation: When the digestive process slows down and stool remains in the intestines, bacteria act there and produce gas. When this does not come out, you may experience severe pain in the stomach.
Junk food and oily foods: Foods with excessive oil and spices take longer to digest. This increases the acidity of the stomach and causes gas problems.
