What Triggers It?

Discover the common causes — from air swallowing when eating to food that ferments and creates gas.

Lifestyle Tips to Cut Gas

Simple habits that help: eat slowly, avoid straws and gum, skip fizzy drinks, and more.

Diet Hacks That Help

Know which foods may cause more wind (and when): beans, cabbage, onions, some high-fibre foods — plus smarter substitutes.

Managing Your Appliance
