9. Dietary Remedies
Dietary changes can minimize gas production and promote the efficient movement of gas through the digestive system. Journaling one's diet and excess gas symptoms can help the doctor to determine the changes needed. These changes may include the elimination of some items or reduction of the portions.
Some of the foods that may need to be eliminated or reduced include high-fiber foods, dairy, sugar substitutes, fatty or fried foods, carbonated drinks, and fiber supplements. Drinking plenty of water helps prevent constipation.
