Too much stomach gas can be a major issue, even though after hours comedians have a tendency to make the problem the basis of quite a few of their jokes. Constant flatulence can be embarrassing to say the least, and if bad enough can create a tough-to-handle social problem for you and your family. As the topic is taboo and generally referred to by way of jokes, most who suffer from this issue often do so in complete silence, as they would prefer to deal with the uncomfortable symptoms rather than look into the causes and potential cures.
Fundamentally, any one of three problems could cause serious stomach gas and each could lead to longer-term issues if left unattended for a particular period of time.
The body maintains a very delicate balance of chemical reactions, and within this balance, yeast is a vital factor. Under certain circumstances, this particular component gets out of balance and when an excessive level of yeast, or Candida is present, health issues can quickly develop. Apparently, this is the foremost cause of a gas problem, and it’s the common result of impaired digestion and a poor approach to holistic nutrition. If someone regularly pursues a diet which filled with “quick and easy” choices, it won’t be digested correctly and the proper waste won’t be expelled either. Under such conditions, the yeast multiplies within your intestines and ferments, creating large volumes of gas. Is this issue related to your sugar addiction? Generally, most processed foods have limited nutritional value and are quite high in refined sugars, and such ingredients – in these proportions, may provide the yeast with ideal conditions to flourish. As an even greater cause for concern, Candida can – in some individuals, lead to the development of allergies, excessive levels of anxiety, difficulty concentrating and irritable bowel syndrome, among many other illnesses as well.
Constipation is another embarrassing issue that few choose to talk about. Experts say that you should have a bowel movement twice a day, or food will ferment within your intestines leading to gas and odors. When gas travels into the digestive tract it can lead to bloating and further discomfort. It is important to track your bowel movements and if irregular, think of a colon cleanse and a major reassessment of your diet.
The drug industry has done a lot to brainwash us about “cures” for indigestion. We are told we have too much acid and antacids are popped like pills. As the balance of stomach acid is again very delicate, these pills will essentially cause more harm than good. Food is not completely digested due to this imbalance and its goodness cannot be correctly absorbed. Undigested food will be attacked by organisms and once again will lead to gas, bloating and other bowel problems.
These are just some of the problems caused if you don’t concentrate on holistic health solutions to help you lead your life well. You need to take control of sugar and food cravings and stop relying on processed foods by pretending you don’t have enough time to prepare your diet accordingly. Many of the major illnesses we suffer today, including arthritis, diabetes and cancer can be traced back to poor dietary health. Next time you have an excessive gas attack, consider whether it could be linked to your sugar addiction and make plans for change as soon as possible.
