for one thing, chew your food. most people tend to gulp unchewed portions. you could take beano before a meal. any store, or pharmacy.
Try mint.
Try Digestin. Take 1 or 2 after you eat and it will help you digest properly.
Aromatherapy:
this remedy, from Aromatherapy; Application and Inhalations won’t eliminate flatulence, but it will make you more pleasant to be around while the problem runs its course. Drink four ounces of water to which you’ve added a single drop of peppermint essential oil. Herbalist Jeanne Rose says that before long, your flatus will have the minty fragrance of toothpaste or breath mints!
Ayurveda:
A mixture of one teaspoon of grated fresh ginger pulp and one teaspoon of lime juice, taken immediately after eating, can prevent excess and lower abdominal pain, says Vasant Lad, B.A.M.Sm., M.A.Sc., director of the Ayuredic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Food Therapy:
Kombu, a sea vegetable that’s available in most Asian grocery stores and some health food stores, can help neutralize food that usually trigger flatulence, says Allen Magaziner, D.O., a nutritional medicine specialist and head of the Magaziner Medical Center in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. "Let say you’re boiling broccoli, a food that can cause flatulence in many people. Simply put a little strip of kombu in the pot while you’re cooking. It help neutralize the gas from the broccoli, so you avoid the flatulence afterward."
Zingiber officinalis (Ginger) has a long history of use in relieving the symptoms of indigestion, flatulence and nausea.
Foeniculum officinale (Fennel) also helps to relieve the symptoms of gas and bloating while the homeopathic ingredient Carbo. veg. is excellent for absorbing excess gas and toxins in the body and is particularly effective for individuals who suffer from sporadic constipation and diarrhea.
I suggest all natural EZ Gest. It contains five plant based enzymes and alleviates belching, bloating, cramps and intestinal gas caused by the various food groups. It’s recommended that you take one at the start of a meal.
