Many people cut down on salt because they are worried about blood pressure but a lack of salt intake can actually cause bloating and a lot of gas. Before we look at three ways on how to stop gas, let us look at why this problem arises. The main reason is that some combinations of foods will cause fermentation in your gut and that in turn will produce gas.

Let us take a combination like sugar and oatmeal. This is a bad combination because it can cause yeast which ferments and this again can cause bloating. But if you replace sugar with maltose which is a complex carb, then there is no build up of fermentation and this solves the problem. You can easily find maltose in the Chinese and Asian supermarkets.

The second thing you must know about how to stop gas is to try drinking a little water after having consumed any lactose products such as milk or cheese. Some people are lactose intolerant and they have problems in digesting these products. This produces indigestion and that is also a major cause of gas and bloating. If you suspect you are lactose intolerant you can replace the milk with a soya drink which is free of cholesterol and almost fat free.

The third thing to avoid is eating fruit at the end of a meal as it interferes with digestion. If you are fond of having a fruit snack in between meals, then you should make sure that you have fully digested the previous meal. You should also note that mixing sweet fruit and acid fruits can also cause fermentation and consequently gas. The main sweet fruits are bananas, dates, figs, grapes, prunes and raisins. The acid fruits are grapefruit, oranges, pineapples, plums, raspberries and strawberries.

If you keep your sweet fruit separate from the acid fruit this is one great and easy way on how to stop gas. If you need more help, the link below will help you to find an easy solution and will mean you do not to have to cut out certain foods and experiment for weeks on how to stop gas.
