Intestinal gas has a different meaning for different people. Intestinal gas is produced in all people and excreted through belching and also through the anus. The most common cause of belching is gastric dilatation due to air swallowing. Gastric dilatation causes discomfort in the abdomen and belching causes the air to go out and relieve discomfort.
Common reasons for swallowing large amounts of air include: Eating big food snacks and drinking liquids very quickly, anxiety and consumption of carbonated drinks.
Of course, the only reason for belching is not to have too much air in the stomach, but belching is a habit in some people and it does not indicate the amount of air in the stomach. Belching is the answer to any type of abdominal discomfort in some people and it’s not just about removing the discomfort of increasing gas. The intestinal gas is mainly composed of carbon dioxide, hydrogen and in some families; methane (mixed with inhaled or swallowed nitrogen and oxygen from room air). Carbon dioxide, hydrogen and methane are produced when the gut bacteria digest undigested foods that enter the colon. Although these gases are odorless, bacteria may also produce small amounts of sulfur-containing gas, which has an unpleasant odor. Bloating is a personal feeling and in this case the abdomen feels larger than normal. In contrast, abdominal distention is a finding that is determined by a doctor in the examination and the abdomen is actually larger than normal. Bloating and abdominal distension may be due to an increase in the amount of gas in the abdomen, but there are other causes as well.
After obtaining a detailed history and, if necessary, additional surveys, doctor uses non- herbal or herbal remedies to relieve the discomfort. Spearmint is one of the herbal remedies that has been used for many years as a natural and effective treatment for bloating and it is now available as a Supermint Barij® oral drop in the country’s drug market.
