Dear Komal,
Towards evening. I find my stomach becomes hard and tight because of a lot of gas and it is very uncomfortable.
How does one avoid this problem?
My age is 40, I am semi-active and don’t follow any diet restrictions as such.
Thank you,
Arvind
Gut health is very important for your fitness and long-term immunity.
Abdominal gas production is caused by the fermentation of undigestible food by gut bacteria.
You can also have gas symptoms when you swallow more air or consume more of certain foods and drinks.
Avoid foods known to cause gas. This includes vegetables like onions, whole grains, dairy products and fruits like apple and pear. Sugary and high fat/fried foods can aggravate abdominal discomfort.
Make sure you drink a lot of water to flush out toxins and help in the digestion of food. Soothing agents like fennel seeds, cardamon, lemon, etc, provide good relief.
Regular physical activity plays an important role in the movement of abdominal gas and, thus, relief from the pain.
