Answer 1

I always believe in natural curing methods rather than jumping to the nearest OTC medicine. So, follow these tips and you will find significant relief:
1. Cut down heavily on spice - what you can eat in india may not be easy to digest in australia becoz of weather conditions. So, don't think I've been eating this stuff since childhod, so my body can take it - it cannot - weather conditions affect it so mellow down on spice.

2. Drink lots of water - cold preferably. the standard 8 glasses a day works fine. In case its too much for you, keep sipping from bottles so it'l make it easier.

3. Eat more frequent smaller quantities of food. this makes digestion easy and will relieve the gas.

4. Cumin seeds - dry roast them and add about 1 liter water after they brown nicely. Boil down to 1/2 liter. Drink this dicoction whenever you are suffering too much. This needs to be prepared fresh and will not be as effective if stored for more than a day. Drink as warm as you can handle. If possible, drink it first thing every morning. Will provide definite relief.

If you eat meat, the first thing you'll want to do is a system cleanse. Meat gets stuck in the digestive system and causes issues such as gas, constipation, etc (not knocking carnivores here, I am one). Try a week long raw juice fast, drink LOTS of water and throw in some fennel seed tea for good measure. There are commercial products that will do this more quickly, but they tend to be very uncomfortable.

I am assuming since you are Indian you eat a lot of spicy foods? Cut back on the spices (personally, curry always gives my wretched gas). Since you are a student I will also assume you probably eat a lot of junk food- also a bad idea.

Not eating carbs and proteins with the same meal can also help a lot as the digestive juices that process them neutralize each other, and make the digestive systems work twice as hard for half the result.

If the change of diet does not help, please see a doctor. You could have any number of things going on that they can help you with. Good Luck!

I have written an article on this subject. I am enclosing it for you.

If you have not seen a doctor please see one.

How is the gas normally formed?

Gas is formed during all stages of digesting process, in all parts of the system.

There are enzymes, acids and bacteria....... they break down what we take in, solid or liquid or gases (if you are a smoker some smoke will end up in the system).

This process of breaking down produces gases. The gasses come out through upper or lower exists depending on where they are formed if all valves are performing.

The problem happens when;
1. There is over production.
2. Malfunction mainly of various valves in the systems.

During weekly fasting days – how to control? - The Pt is-male(38).

I am glade that you are believer in fasting.

But I do not know what kind of fast you follow.

The best thing you can do is fast, with water only, you must take in a gallon of water every day fasting or not. Water is a universal purifier. It will regulate the acids ....

Stomach Gas problem?

After a day of fasting, you should eat for whole day only yogurt and rice for all three meals. Yogurt should be non pasteurized kind (Curd or Dehi), Danon in USA is selling a bran name "Actinia" use that. Pesturiezed Yogurt does not have the enzymes that help solve the gas problem.

Now you can slowly introduce one new food item per day and see how your system reacts. But with all meals you must eat some Yogurt. If you have the problem, you will know what food to blame or avoid. Simple well cooked food causes less problem then non cooked items. You must not use spicy food in the beginning and introduce them slowly one at a time.

How to control my food?

You must eat what you need i.e. amount of total calories intake. I have two articles that I will include that should help. FYIO.

Which food is better?

Yogurt should be included in small quantity with all meals in your case till the problem is solved. Gallon of water should be taken every day even after the problem is solved.

Which food is to be avoided?

This I have answered and showed you the way to find out.

Which food is better?

Well cooked simple food is batter. You must eat so that you are going to keep some room for two helping of your favorit desert but take one helping of it only. Do not starve but you must have some room for the gasses to form during the process of digesting.

Which medicine is better?

If you follow the above you should not need medicine. Some time you like to eat certain food say at a party then there are lots of non prescription stuff that is available to you, at local pharmacy, they all work but some will work batter for you have to try and use what works best, some of this you can take before the party.

Tea/Coffee to be avoided completely or not?

By same process you can find this out, slowly introduce in small quantity and see what happens.

According to the present company provided food/accommodation, it is not possible to avoid Refrigerated and Microwave food – So what to do – or how to manage these food and when (Day time, evening, night).

How the food is cooked or kept is not important Refrigerated and Microwave food. The food is not be spoiled, watch out for dates, once the package is opened, use the same up as soon as you can. Take out the food in a plate put away the rest first in the refrigerator then warm up. Food should be kept out of refrigerator least amount of time. Smell the food, look at the food does not look right or smell right is not right.

PS

Once you start eating all the food, it may help, if you eat 6 small meals instead of 3 large meals.
