 Gastric Problem,Causes and Diet

Causes of Intestinal Gas:

There are two main causes of intestinal gas: swallowed air and gas that is produced as a by-product of the digestion of certain foods. Most swallowed air is released through burping. The rest is either absorbed in the small intestine or travels through the intestines to be released through the rectum. Gas is also produced by intestinal bacteria as a breakdown product of food material.

Way of Eating for Gastric Suffering People:

1. Eat Slowly
A major cause of gas is swallowed air. If you take the time to eat and drink in a slow, controlled manner, you minimize your intake of air. In other words, listen to what your mother told you and don’t gulp down your food!
2. Don’t Chew Gum
Chewing on gum is another way in which air is swallowed which could lead to excessive gas. Sucking on hard candies should also be avoided for the same reason.
3. Avoid Carbonated Beverages
If gas and bloating are a regular problem for you, you don’t want to introduce unnecessary gas, such as the carbon dioxide infused into carbonated beverages, into your system.
4. Avoid Diet Foods Containing Sorbitol
Some diet foods contain sorbitol, a sugar substitute. Intestinal gas can be increased when the sorbitol is acted upon by intestinalbacteria.
5. Be smart about food.
Only some foods pose the risk of contributing to gassiness. These are foods that contain substances that are not well digested and thus, like sorbitol, are available to be acted upon by intestinal bacteria. In general, gas-contributing foods are those that contain certain sugars or are comprised of soluble fiber.


Diets or food must not be taken :

1. Certain Vegetables and Legumes
The following vegetables have made their way onto this list due to the fact that they contain raffinose and/or fructose:

artichokes
asparagus
beans
broccoli
Brussel sprouts
cabbage
carrots
cauliflower
celery
cucumbers
green peppers
lentils
onions
peas
potatoes
radishes

2. Certain Fruits
These fruits may be a problem for you as they contain fructose, sorbitol and/or soluble fiber:

apples
apricots
bananas
oranges
peaches
pears
prunes
raisins

3. Dairy Products
Even if you have not been diagnosed with lactose intolerance, you may find that eating dairy products results in unwanted gas. As our bodies age, we tend to produce less of the enzyme lactase that is necessary for digesting lactose (the sugar found in milk and other dairy products), and thus gassiness resulting from dairy foods may become a problem.

Cheese
Ice cream
Milk
Processed foods containing milk products.

4. Certain Whole Grains
Although whole grains are quite healthy for you, some of them contain soluble fiber and/or raffinose which can contribute to unwanted gassiness:

Barley
Flax seed
Oat bran
Wheat

5. Certain Snack Foods
Watch what you reach for when you get the munchies. Read the labels of sugar-free candies and gums to ensure that they don’t contain sorbitol. Nuts and seeds are often a good source of soluble fiber and thus may be problematic in terms of gas.
6. Certain Drinks
As with snack food, watch what you drink. The following beverages may contain fructose, sorbitol or carbonation, all of which can contribute to intestinal gas:

Beer
Diet sodas
Fruit juices
Wine

Diets /Food to be Taken:
1. Protein

Lean beef
Fish
White meat turkey
White meat chicken

2. Vegetables
The following vegetables are good sources of insoluble fiber:

Greens, such as kale or spinach
Green beans
Lettuce
Tomatoes

3. Fruits

Cherries
Grapes

4. Bread

Gluten-free bread
Rice bread

5. Rice
Unfortunately, this safe food list is limited. So it is not a good idea to follow as a daily meal plan. Stick to these safe foods only on those days when it is especially important to be gas-free.
