The buildup of gas in the stomach can be caused by the consumption of foods high in fiber. Fiber is harder to digest. When foods that contain lots of fiber are not digested well in the small intestine, when the food remains reaching the colon, the natural bacteria in the large intestine will eat it and produce gas as the end product. Pumpkin can help reduce bloating in the stomach because it can reduce the amount of gas that accumulate. To relieve flatulence, pumpkins can be eaten anytime and processed into any dish according to taste.

We have available probiotic drinks from various brands that are sold freely in the supermarket. The probiotic drink contains yeast and bacteria that are similar to natural bacteria in the intestines. It is this bacteria that helps maintain a healthy digestive system, which will eventually get rid of some digestive problems so it fits into one way of overcoming flatulence. The probiotic beverage you use to relieve abdominal bloating due to diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, and difficulty in digesting the fiber.
Modified diet
There are certain types of foods that can cause gas in the digestive system, among them are cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, nuts, lettuce, onions, apples, and pears. You can limit the consumption of this type of food, or replace it with other foods that do not cause bloating in the stomach but still contains nutritional value.
In addition to these types of foods, fatty foods and artificial sweeteners can also cause flatulence. The body digests fat more slowly. This means that fatty foods stay long enough in the digestive system to produce gas that can accumulate in the intestine. Thus, the way to overcome the subsequent bloating is to limit the consumption of red meat, fried foods, butter, and cream. To get animal protein, you can replace red meat with fish. As for milk, you can choose skim milk or low fat milk.
