Gastroenterologist shares 3 effective remedies to relieve farting
Experiencing embarrassing gas? Gastroenterologist Dr. Joseph Salhab suggests remedies like simethicone to break up gas bubbles and peppermint tea for abdominal relief. Pepto Bismol can also reduce odor. The article further advises eating slowly, limiting gas-producing foods, avoiding gum and carbonated drinks, and quitting smoking to manage excessive flatulence. Farting is a natural byproduct of a healthy digestive system, but in some occasions it can be embarrassing. Dr Joseph Salhab, a gastroenterologist has recently shared some effective remedies to relieve farting. He was reacting to a woman's video on 'the most diabolical behaviour on the plane'. The woman complained about a fellow passenger 'farting' in the plane, and the passenger getting restless. 'Try this remedy if you or someone around you has bad gas,' the doctor shared. Simethicone Dr. Salhab's top recommendation is simethicone. This is an over-the-counter medication to relieve gas. 'It breaks up the gas bubbles in your gastrointestinal tract,' the gastroenterologist explained in his Instagram video. This medication works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles, allowing them to combine and pass more easily. It can be used as a quick relief, especially in situations like air travel, where bloating and gas can worsen due to cabin pressure changes. Peppermint One home remedy for gas is sipping peppermint tea. 'It will help with abdominal pain and spasms,' the doctor said. Peppermint tea can help relieve bloating and gas. It contains menthol, which has antispasmodic properties that relax the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, it will reduce cramping and ease the passage of gas . Peppermint tea also provides in calming effect on both the stomach and the discomfort associated with excessive flatulence. King Charles' Cancer CONFIRMED As 'Incurable'? Royal Health Secret Finally Revealed | Shocking Update Pepto bismol The third remedy on Dr. Salhab's list is Pepto Bismol. 'You can take something like Pepto Bismol. It binds to the sulfur within your gastrointestinal tract, and makes it less smelly,' he said. The active ingredient, bismuth subsalicylate, reacts with sulfur compounds in the gut, and thereby decreases the foul smell of gas. This medication is available in liquid, tablet, or chewable forms. How to reduce farting naturally Farting is absolutely harmless. A healthy individual farts around 14 times a day. Though it may sound like a lot, most farts are odorless and relatively undetectable. What you eat also plays a crucial role in farting . Here are five tips to control excessive farting. Eat slowly Limit gas-producing foods such as certain carbohydrates, complex sugars, and insoluble fibres Avoid chewing gum Avoid soda, beer, and other carbonated drinks Quit smoking If excessive farting persists, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
