Yes. You could be eating too much fiber, you could have a very slow digestive tract that allows waste to sit there for too long, you could be eating foods that make you build up gas (cabbage, beans, broccoli, etc.), or you could have a health condition. Talk to your doctor for a definite diagnosis. This certainly is not natural.

Why is the food in front of you?  Step away from the kitchen!\n\nFind other ways to occupy your time- especially ways that get you out of the house!  When you're busy swimming lengths, attending lectures, riding your bicycle, learning a language or speed dating you won't have time to stuff your face!\n\nInside the house, keep food out of sight and out of mind!  If you have a craving, first go to the kitchen and drink a glass of water.  Usually the craving will disappear before you're finished drinking.  Invest in a few boxes of Ziplock bags and divide boxes of cookies and bags of chips into individual portions (as soon as you get home from the store) so you don't end up eating the whole box.  Keep soda pop in cans in your closet, so if you're tempted to drink one you have to first put it in the fridge and wait for it to cool down.  I guarantee you'll forget about it before it gets cold!\n\nSomeone suggested sugar-free gum- THIS IS THE WORST IDEA EVER!  Chewing gum activates your salivary glands, causing your mouth to produce saliva.  This is your body's way of preparing to break down food (aka EAT), so it will just make you crave food even more.  Gum = weight gain!

Perhaps there is nothing intrincally wrong with you.If you know that   certain things give you gases better try to avoid them. That  on some occasions they do not do so is not argument to take them. Perhaps at that particular time some other factors may have given you the respite but the fact remains that they eg. cabbage don't agree with you.One of my friends got gases when he drank tea. He found out hat the milk in the tea was the villain of the peace when he had gone into the interior where no milk was available and had to drink black t ea.It is advisable to set with you feet folded beneath you for 10-15 minitues after each meal. The gas will pass out ,sometimes noisely but the stomach would be rid of them.But the main think is  look before you eat.

Food products that contribute to gas production\n\nPulses Most beans, especially dried beans and peas, baked beans, and soya beans \nMilk and milk products Milk, Cheese, icecream \nVegetables Cabbage, radishes, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, potatoes, turnips \nFruits Apples, apricots, apples, raisins, bananas \nCereals and breads All foods containing wheat and wheat products including cereals, breads, etc. \nFatty foods Deep fried foods, fatty meats, rich cream sauces and gravies, pastries \nDrinks Carbonated beverages, soft drinks and processed fruit juices\n\n\n\nChewing your food properly helps prevent gas because you alleviate your tract's workload, while chewing gum gives people flatulence because it makes them swallow more air than usual and because it animates the digestive system. Sometimes you burp, but other times air goes too deep into the digestive tract, leaving only one alternative: farting.

This one works for me. Cut out the dairy, don't use oil or fat when cooking, make sure you eat a big variety of things, eat only small amounts of oil rich foods (nuts, seeds, olives etc), eat lots and lots of fruit and veg and whole grains (brown rice, wholemeal pasta and bread) so you don't get hungry, and regularly do some exercise. It is important that you eat a wide variety of different things.

slowly cut your food portions. ex; instead of eating three slices of bread eat three. but don't starve yourself that will only make your crave bigger portions and when you least know it your plate is clean. \n-patients

Reduce consumption of fatty foods, milk, chocolate, mints, caffeine, carbonated drinks, citrus fruits and juices, tomato products, pepper seasoning, and alcohol (especially red wine).\n\n\nAlso:\n\n# Avoid eating anything within three hours before bedtime.\n# Avoid smoking and tobacco products.\n# Eat smaller meals. Avoid tight clothing or bending over after eating.\n# Review all medications with the physician. Certain drugs can actually weaken the LES.\n# Elevate the head of the bed or mattress 6 to 8 inches. This helps to keep acid in the stomach. Pillows by themselves are not very helpful. Wedging pillows under the head tends to bend the body at the waist which can push more fluid back up into the esophagus.\n# Lose weight if overweight. This may relieve upward pressure on the stomach and LES.

Cut down on portions.  Make it a rule to leave a meal satisfied, but not full.  Increase your exercise.  Its my opinion that you need a certain amount of exercise to trigger weight loss.  But I'm not an expert.

It is a normal average for everyone to fart approx 10-15 times a day.  HONEST...ask the doctor.

Firstly, the faster you lose weight, the more likely you are to put it back on.  Besides reducing your caloric intake and increasing your level of exercise, two things that will help you out are to drink lots of water, and to stop eating after you've had dinner.  Good luck.

Baking soda and water is great but don't if you can't have a lot of salt or have high blood pressure.  I find too much salt can give me gas so it may not be your first choice!!\n\nCalcium!!  Calcium helps a lot.\nMilk\nwhite of eggs\ndrink plenty of water..if looking at bottled water avoid ones with potassium\n\nI find basil can help with Gas and is not acidic  \nTo better tollerate baking soda you may want to have something like peppermint or chammomile to calm your system before you take it.

two causes of passing gas\nAir swallowing (aerophagia) is a common cause of gas in the stomach. Everyone swallows small amounts of air when eating and drinking. However, eating or drinking rapidly, chewing gum, smoking, or wearing loose dentures can cause some people to take in more air.\n\nUndigested food passes from the small intestine into the large intestine, where normal, harmless bacteria break down the food, producing hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and, in about one-third of all people, methane. Eventually these gases exit through the rectum. The balance of the two types of bacteria may explain why some people have more gas than others. \n\nExperience has shown that the most common ways to reduce the discomfort of gas are changing diet, taking medicines, and reducing the amount of air swallowed.
