how gas is formed in stomach - #17202
I am really struggling with this weird bloating and gas situation and just can’t figure out how gas is formed in stomach like, what’s going on? It started a few months ago after I switched to a more plant-based diet. At first, it was just a little discomfort after meals but now it’s like I’m a human balloon! I feel like it might be from all the fiber, you know? My doctor said something about, um, fermentation happening in the gut, but I'm not really sure how gas is formed in stomach and what that even means. Sometimes I think maybe I’m eating too fast or not chewing enough, which could lead to swallowing more air? Does that actually contribute to how gas is formed in stomach? I also hear that certain foods can really make things worse. I’ve tried cutting out beans and broccoli (which was a bummer) but still dealing with these painful pressures. Would love insights on how gas is formed in stomach and how to manage it better. I keep Googling and it’s all very confusing. Any tips from you docs out there? Thanks!!
