Every time we have our favourite food items in front of us, we can hardly control ourselves from getting the taste of everything. And when we overeat, it often leads to gas. Acidity occurs when the stomach's gastric glands secrete too many acids, resulting in gas, poor breath, stomach aches, and other symptoms. This problem is common among many of us, but did you know that gas can be accumulated in our bodies in two ways? According to Canadian Society Of Intestinal Research firstly, gas can be caused through the air, when we swallow air while eating or drinking, allowing oxygen and nitrogen to enter our body. Secondly, gases such as hydrogen, methane or carbon dioxide are released and build in your stomach when you digest food. These gases, if not expelled may cause discomfort.
