What is
flatulence?
Flatulence is an excess of gas in
the digestive tract, particularly the stomach and intestines. This
can cause bloating and abdominal pain, excessive belching and
passing of wind. It is normal for a certain amount of gas to end
up in the digestive system and be expelled by belching or flatus
(passing wind).
However, for many people -
particularly those who have an excess of these symptoms -
flatulence can be an embarrassing problem. Many people who suffer
from excessive flatulence and digestive gas have to constantly
watch what they eat, no longer able to enjoy their favorite foods
for fear of causing gas.
What causes
flatulence?
There are several factors that can
cause an excess of gas in the digestive system. Certain foods in
the diet are known to increase gas and flatulence. Swallowing air
during eating, talking and day to day life will also increase the
amount of gas in the gut.
In certain people, excessive gas
may be an indication of a medical condition such as lactose
intolerance or inflammatory bowel disease.
Some of the most notorious foods
for producing excess gas are vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower
and broccoli (cruciferous vegetables), beans, pulses and whole
grains, carbonated beverages and most foods that are high in
dietary fiber, especially refined fiber.
Smoking, chewing gum, ill-fitting
dentures, eating in a hurry or being nervous or anxious can all
increase the amount of air that a person swallows and, in turn,
lead to flatulence and the associated symptoms.
When proper digestion is hampered
by disorders like IBS, Crohn’s disease or any deficiency in normal
digestive enzymes, flatulence is a common result as excess gas is
produced by the gut. Lactose intolerance is also particularly
known for causing wind as these individuals lack the enzyme for
breaking down lactose - a sugar found in milk and dairy products.
Another cause of excess digestive
gas is candida overgrowth in the gut. Candida is an organism that
occurs naturally in the digestive tract, but can multiply under
certain conditions resulting in candida overgrowth and an
imbalance in intestinal flora. Candida releases a large number of
toxins, resulting in intestinal gas, fatigue and fungal infections
like thrush. Causes of candida overgrowth include antibiotic use,
excessive dietary sugar and weakened immune functioning.
How is
flatulence and belching usually treated?
Although prescription and
over-the-counter medications are not commonly used to control
flatulence and wind, your doctor or health care provider will be
able to exclude any underlying medical causes for flatulence.
Some OTC preparations are available to release
gas from the digestive tract by precipitating belching. While this
may produce momentary relief, it does not address the underlying
causes.
What are the
Ingredients?
This remedy contains the following
herbal and homeopathic ingredients:
Carbo. veg. (30C) is a
homeopathic remedy well known for its positive effect on
digestion, including treatment of flatulence and wind. Carbo. veg.
is excellent for absorbing excess gas and toxins in the body and
is particularly effective for individuals who suffer from
indigestion, sporadic constipation and diarrhea, sour belching,
wind and bloating. This remedy will stimulate healthy digestion
and circulation and will even relieve fatigue.
Foeniculum officinale (Fennel)
helps to relieve the symptoms of gas and bloating and also acts as
a digestive aid. Fennel can assist in detoxification and prevent a
rumbling stomach, as well as many digestive discomforts. Since
medieval times this herb has been taken after meals to prevent
flatulence, indigestion and colic.
Zingiber officinalis (Ginger)
has a long history of medicinal use in traditional Chinese and
Ayurvedic (Indian) medicine. Modern research confirms its
effectiveness in relieving the symptoms of indigestion, flatulence
and nausea. Zingiber works mostly in the digestive system by
boosting digestive juices and strengthening the process of
digestion. Ginger has strong anti-inflammatory and pain relieving
properties.
Arctium lappa (Burdock) is
well-known as an herbal blood purifier and system cleanser. Taking
Burdock will effectively detoxify the digestive system, strengthen
weak digestion, relieve wind, distension (bloating), constipation
and indigestion.
This remedy

colorants and preservatives.
How has
Gasolve Relief helped others?
"I have had a
problem with wind for as long as I can remember and have tried
everything to control it. The older I get the worse it seems. I
never touch beans or cabbage (or anything else like that) and
still have such an excess of gas that it is embarrassing even
around my own family. Since using your Gasolve Relief
I can honestly say I have far less wind. No more feeling like a
blown-up balloon or having to excuse myself whenever I’m in
company due to excess wind. This product is really great- thank
you!" - Leanne
"I must admit
that it was my wife who ordered this remedy for me. I think she
was at her wits end, but I’m really grateful that she did though.
I've noticed drastic improvement in that gassy feeling I used to
get after eating and I pass much less wind in general. I feel
great and my wife seems relieved!" -
Dale T.
"Being lactose
intolerant has made me prone to flatulence even when I don’t eat
foods that are obvious culprits like dairy. I decided to give
Gasolve Relief a try and have been pleasantly
surprised at the results. Not only do I produce less gas these
days but I have also noticed a decrease in feelings of indigestion
and bloating. I am very pleased with the effects of this natural
remedy - thanks." - Tamara
