Q I'm an office worker who has to eat lunch quickly. Which foods and habits especially worsen gas?
A Legumes, dairy, carbonated drinks, gum, and fast eating are typical culprits. Eating in a hurry swallows air too, increasing gas. Simply chewing slowly and thoroughly reduces the frequency.
Detailed Answer
Beans, soy milk, milk, cheese, carbonated drinks and beer, vegetables like cabbage, onions, and garlic, and sugar-free gum and drinks with artificial sweeteners are typical gas triggers. Above all, fast eating has a big effect. You swallow a lot of air along with food, and food that isn't broken down well descends into the gut and ferments.
Oriental Medicine Clinic Perspective
The more often you are exposed to a stimulating eating environment, the more important the gut's resilience becomes. By raising digestion and bowel motility through oriental medicine treatment, you can build the strength to bloat and accumulate less gas even after a short lunch break or an unavoidable group dinner.
