Last Updated on January 29, 2020 | RD, Payal Banka (Registered Dietitian) 20 Comments

Gas and indigestion are a very common cause of concern for a lot of us. Getting tempted by the sight of pani – puri and chole bhatura (Indian dishes) is something no Indian can control. Many a time we tend to give in to the urge of eating something spicy and tasty and as a result face gas and indigestion.  Gas and indigestion are also indicative of an upset stomach

Indigestion includes a wide array of gastrointestinal problems including flatulence (gas), belching and bloating.

  • An acidic taste in the mouth.

Causes of Gas and indigestion

  • Stress.
  • Anti-inflammatory medicines.
  • Eating very spicy food.
  • Large quantity consumption of food.
  • Eating gas-forming foods like legumes (Rajma, Chole, Red channa, Chickpeas, and Raw sprouts), vegetables like radish, cabbage, as well as cauliflower.
  • Going without food for long. And long intervals between 2 meals.
  •  Peptic ulcers.

Apart from the above causes, women experience a lot of gas and indigestion during the first and third trimesters of pregnancy. Also, people who are obese also suffer from indigestion more often than others.

When a person is suffering from gas and indigestion, he/she is unable to concentrate on work. Often, one is unable to find a comfortable position to rest. Stomach cramps and pain make it difficult to eat anything and perform day to day tasks.

  • Exercising regularly.
  • Cutting down fatty and fried foods from your diet.
  • Eating dinner at least two hours before going to sleep. Or slow pace walking for 5 – 10 mins after dinner.
  • Not taking too much stress.

Ginger helps to produce enzymes that facilitate the digestion of food. A hot cup of ginger tea helps to relieve gas, cramps, bloating and stomach aches. In fact, chewing a slice of ginger after eating food can help to prevent acidity and gas. Alternately, you can also add a few drops of lemon juice with a little ginger juice and a teaspoon of honey in warm water and drink this after every meal. This is one of the most common Indian home remedies for gas.

Home Remedies for Gas and Indigestion during Pregnancy:

Bloating and gas are a common occurrence during pregnancy. Due to the increased production of the hormone progesterone in the first trimester, the food moves very slowly through the intestines and this causes gas. In the third trimester, the growing fetus puts a lot of pressure on the gall bladder and this causes bloating and constipation.

Here are some Indian home remedies for gas and bloating during pregnancy:

  • Exercise:

About half an hour of light exercise is ideal to get relief from gas and bloating. Take care not to overdo it since it can be strenuous. You can even try yoga to get relief from gas and bloating.

Home remedies for Heartburn / Gas in the chest:

Often gas forms in the chest and causes a lot of pain and discomfort. Although passing gas is considered normal but many a time, it creates a burning sensation in the chest, more commonly referred to as heartburn. Drinking too many carbonated beverages, eating too many beans, anxiety, gallstones, and food intolerance are some of the causes of gas and pain in the chest.

 

Here are a few home remedies for gas in the chest:

1. Keep away from aerated drinks:

Aerated/carbonated drinks contain a lot of gas and hence should be avoided since they add to the gas formation. Instead, drink plenty of water. Increased intake of water helps to move the undigested food and aids digestion.

2. Avoid milk and other dairy products:

If you’re suffering from gas in the chest, avoid drinking milk and consuming other dairy products. Dairy products take longer to digest and will only add to the discomfort. If you’re experiencing gas and bloating regularly and dairy products form a major chunk of your diet, then you must try to avoid them for a day and see if you feel any difference. Often, lactose intolerance can lead to gas and pain in the chest.

3. Hot Tea:

Consuming hot tea is considered a very potent home remedy for gas pain. You can add some other powerful ingredients to get instant relief from gas and pain. These include ginger, peppermint or any other herbs. Not only do they prevent the buildup of gas; they also lend an amazing flavor to the tea.

    Thanks Payal for writing this blog. I usually form lot of gas after eating one of the following during lunch.

    Rajma , Chole , chickpeas , cabbage or cauliflower.

    One option is to avoid this, but for some reason if we eat these, then is there any effective way or remedy to stop gas formation.

    Thanks

      Hi Ravi ,

      thats for reading at dietburrp . Avoiding these items is the best option any day . but if you want to continue eating them , make sure you dont over eat these item . consume in little amount . and if possible drink warm water with lemon or green tea after your meal and walk for 10 mins after each meal . this will improve your digestion. folloing other tips mentioned above will also help

      it will clear off in 10 dYS IF IT IS BCAUSE OF THE ANTIBIOTIC. IF IT CONTINUES EVEN AFTER 10 DAYS OF LEAVING ANTIBIOTIC , YOU CAN SEE THE DOCTOR.
