Home Remedies for Gas
All people have gas; it is natural and resulted by swallowing air and normal breakdown of certain indigested food by harmless bacteria.
The frequent belching of the gas comes out by burping or passing it through the rectum. Most people pass gas about 14 times a day, the gas is made primarily of odorless vapor. The unpleasant odor of flatulence comes from bacteria in the large intestine that release small amounts of gases that contain sulfur.
The gas can sometimes be uncomfortable and inconvenient; it can come from bloating of the abdomen after eating and is a result of certain habits or diet choices.
