Gas, bloating, and flatulence are common complaints addressed by gastroenterologists. Palaniappan Manickam, MD, explains that excessive gas can stem from swallowed air, bacterial imbalances in the gut, or conditions like small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Key recommendations include tracking gas-producing foods, trying a low-FODMAP diet, maintaining hydration, and incorporating exercise. Manick also highlights the importance of consulting a doctor for persistent symptoms or red flags like blood in stool or unintentional weight loss. Prioritize mindful eating, gut health, and professional care to manage these issues effectively.
