Stomach gas is basically air present in your gastrointestinal tract. It could either be caused due to excessive ingestion of air while eating or drinking or formed inside your gut as a result of bacterial fermentation. Indigestion is one of the most common causes of stomach gas. Indigestion occurs due to various lifestyle and dietary factors including consumption of caffeine, alcoholic beverages or carbonated drinks, eating meals too hastily, eating fatty foods. Certain medications such as antibiotics and painkillers and stomach infections may also lead to indigestion and stomach gas.
Regardless of the cause, stomach gas presents with symptoms such as bloating of abdomen, burping, feeling full after eating a small quantity of food, pain or burning in the abdomen and occasional nausea.
According to homeopathy, stomach gas is an uncomfortable, unpleasant and embarrassing symptom which can be treated by a holistic approach including remedies like carbo vegetabilis, cinchona officinalis and lycopodium.
