What is it?
Most of the time, gas occurs naturally as a result of the digestive process. While there are some specific foods that tend to produce more gas than others, certain people may simply have a more sensitive digestive system. If you are concerned about gas, you should see a physician to rule out any abnormal causes of gas, such as lactose intolerance or other functional disorders. If the possibility of functional disorders has been eliminated, the following guidelines may help you alleviate some of your gas pain and odors.
