Home Remedies to Stop Farting

How to Control Your Farts ?

Now that we have got to know what causes farts, let us also find out how we can control our farts. Remember one thing, we cannot stop farting but we can prevent it.

• Avoid Consuming Too Many Sugars:  You should reduce the intake of sugar or avoid taking it as sugar breaks down in your gut more quickly, which means more gas is release when the food is digested. This also includes fructose, lactose, and sorbitol.
• Reduce Carbonation: Consuming carbonated drinks, soda, beer and others  will cause your intestines to be filled with more air than they should be. If you can reduce carbonated beverages, you will find your farting problem greatly reduced.
• Reduce intake of starches:  Of all types of grains, Rice is one of the better starches which is recommended to be eaten  if you have gas problems. Rice grain is very easy to digest.  Other grains like wheat, potato, noodles  are  very hard on your intestines. So it is better to avoid taking starch when you have farting problem as starches cause the release of intestinal gas.
• Quit Chewing Gum and Smoking: When you chew gum, you swallow a lot of air, which cause farts. Similarly, when you smoke, you consume more air. So if you have farting problem, then give up smoking and chewing gum if you want to get rid of the problem.
• Improve your digestion: Maintain a healthy balance diet, with the right amounts of proteins, vitamins, calcium, minerals other nutrients. This will definitely lead to proper digestion of food and help you to reduce the farting problem.
