Instructions

• 1

  Avoid eating foods that create gas. Foods that create gas include beans, cabbage, carbonated drinks, yeast foods --- such as pasta and bread --- and high fat, high protein foods such as red meat and cheese.

• 2

  Eat smaller meals and eat more slowly. Sometimes, air gets trapped in the throat from eating too quickly, which can cause excess gas.

• 3

  Eat foods with ginger in them, as ginger reduces gases caused from eating many foods.

• 4

  Chew peppermint after eating. Peppermint is known to cut down on flatus gases. Chew peppermint leaves or suck on a peppermint candy, as the peppermint oil in peppermint candy will have the same effect.

• 5

  Mix two spoonfuls of brandy in a cup of warm water and drink before bedtime to settle your stomach as you sleep.

• 6

  Take a charcoal tablet once a day. Charcoal tablets are an over the counter tablet that is used to decrease gas in the body.
