Gas Pain And Bloating Can Be Very Uncomfortable, Here’s Our Tips To Quickly Get Rid Of Them Naturally!
What Causes Gas Pain?
Gas pain is quite common although most people pass gas relatively easily without any pain. The pain is caused by gas build up in the digestive tract - normally through excess gas production and a blockage. Blockages are typically caused by constipation, this stops gas escaping the body and creates pressure and pain in the digestive tract.
Typically, a normal person with pass gas between 10-20 times a day but it doesn’t normally bring pain.
Gas pain is sometimes accompanied by bloating. Gas relief, allowing gas to pass is what we need to do to get rid of gas pain.

-
Indigestion
-
Infection

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
-
IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
-
Fluid retention
-
Food Intolerances

How To Stop Gas Pain Quickly And Naturally
Gas pain is normally remarkably easy to solve naturally - if it continually persists or you have blood in your stool then it’s best to contact a doctor.
However, if you are looking for some quick relief, lifestyle hacks and natural remedies should help! The aim of each recommendation is either to pass the gas or to unblock the blockage in your intestines - this is most likely stool and constipation.
Drink Tea
That’s right, it sounds simple because it is - natural tea’s such as peppermint and ginger help soothe the stomach. They reduce inflammation in the digestive tract and help stool pass more easily. The hot water also soothes as well as soften the stool, making it easier to pass.
The most effective teas are:
-
ginger
-
anise
-
chamomile
-
peppermint
Take Digestive Enzymes
Many of the problems our digestive system have are due to us not digesting our food properly - or eating too quick which doesn’t let us digest effectively. When this happens, undigested food reaches the digestive tract and bacteria feeds on it - releasing lots of gas. That gas build up can be stopped if we digest our food properly.
Digestive enzymes are in our bodies and help break down food - however, sometimes we need more of them to help assist us to break down food. Most digestive enzymes are made by your pancreas, though a few are made by your mouth, stomach, and small intestine
Digestive enzymes can be taken as a supplement to help break down food and stop gas production - it’s a hero ingredient in Wild Dose, we have 6 digestive enzymes in our formula.
The ones we would recommend are:
-
Papain - breaks down proteins
-
Bromelain - breaks down proteins
-
Lactase - breaks down lactose in dairy products
-
Lipase - breaks down fats
-
Amylase - breaks down starchy foods into simple sugars
-
Protease - breaks down proteins
-
Cellulase - breaks down plant cell walls into simple sugars
Exercise And Movement
Moving your body and exercising is one of the best things you can do to get rid of gas pain and bloating. Low impact and steady movements help move and manipulate gas and stool out of the body.
Yoga and going for short walks are two exercise methods recommended for those experiencing gas pains or abdominal bloating.
Drink More Water
It’s likely that the reason you may be experiencing gas pains is because you are constipated - drinking water helps soften the stool and makes it easier for your intestines to move and pass.
