Causes of Gas and Bloating

Gas and bloating can be caused by various factors. Swallowing air is one common cause, and this can happen when we eat or drink too quickly or when we consume carbonated beverages. Constipation is another major cause, as slow bowel movements can lead to gas retention and abdominal discomfort. The gut microbiome also plays a role, particularly when it struggles to process high-fiber foods. Lastly, our food choices can contribute to gas and bloating, with non-fermented dairy and artificial sweeteners being common culprits.
