How Can People Reduce Gas?

Some people may think they pass gas excessively and wonder how they can reduce farting. While farting is normal and no cause for concern, people may reduce excessive gas by figuring out the root cause.

Avoiding drinking through a straw, chewing gum or sucking on hard candies may also reduce gas.
