Air that enters your body while eating and drinking is a major source of gas. Drinking through a straw introduces an alarming amount of air, as does drinking soda, beer and other carbonated beverages. You know what happens when you open a soda that has been shaken. Do this experiment: Drink six Cokes and jump on a trampoline for fifteen minutes. It's a blast! Eating Habits
Don't chew with your mouth open. Not only is it gross but you also suck in a lot of air with your food. Take smaller bites and chew thoroughly before swallowing. You dinner and after-dinner companions will appreciate it.
Diet
Foods that are high in fiber are major culprits in gas production. Most of these foods are good for you - fruits, vegetables, beans and grains. Your body needs fiber so you should not remove it from your diet. However, you can regulate its consumption. Be aware of foods that are fiber rich and eat them in smaller quantities. You can also help your digestive system by taking smaller, more frequent, meals. Large meals tend to tax your system and make it difficult to process all the foods without excess gas build up.
Lactose Intolerance
Dairy products contain lactose and a lot of people do not have the necessary enzymes to can digest lactose. The result is flatulence, bloating and stomach pains. Many people do not realize that they are lactose intolerant, but a simple food diary will pinpoint the problem. Write down what you eat and when you have gas. There should be a fairly obvious correlation over time between foods and farts. If you are lactose intolerant simply cut dairy out of your diet and drink lactose free milk. Do You Like This Lens?

You Can Get Rid of Gas
Excess gas can be a physical and social bother. Gas comes from gulping down air while drinking and eating. It also comes from foods high in fiber, and lactose intolerant people can not consume dairy products. Simple changes in our diet can reduce unwanted gas.
