Excess stomach gas can be a serious problem, even though late-night comedians often make the issue the butt of their jokes. Flatulence can be embarrassing and if severe enough can cause a significant social issue for you and your loved ones. As the subject is taboo and often referred to in jocular terms, many who suffer often do so in silence as they would rather put up with the symptoms than investigate its causes and cures.

Basically, any one of three primary problems could result in excessive stomach gas, and each of these could easily lead to issues in the future if not addressed for a long span of time.

Your body is a delicate balance of chemical reactions and yeast is a critical component. Under certain circumstances, this particular component gets out of balance and when an excessive level of yeast, or Candida is present, health issues can quickly develop. Apparently, this is the foremost cause of a gas problem, and it’s the common result of impaired digestion and a poor approach to holistic nutrition. If someone regularly pursues a diet which filled with “quick and easy” choices, it won’t be digested correctly and the proper waste won’t be expelled either. This causes the yeast to multiply within your intestines and ferment gas. Is this issue related to your sugar addiction? Generally, most processed foods have limited nutritional value and are quite high in refined sugars, and such ingredients – in these proportions, may provide the yeast with ideal conditions to flourish. Even more worrying, Candida can lead to the formation of allergies, increased levels of anxiety, difficulty concentrating and irritable bowel syndrome among other illnesses.

Constipation is another embarrassing issue that few choose to talk about. Experts say that you should have a bowel movement twice a day, or food will ferment within your intestines leading to gas and odors. When gas travels into the digestive tract it can lead to bloating and further discomfort. It is important to track your bowel movements and if irregular, think of a colon cleanse and a major reassessment of your diet.

The drug industry has done a lot to brainwash us about “cures” for indigestion. We are told we have too much acid and antacids are popped like pills. As the balance of stomach acid is again very delicate, these pills will essentially cause more harm than good. Food is not completely digested due to this imbalance and its goodness cannot be correctly absorbed. Undigested food will be attacked by organisms and once again will lead to gas, bloating and other bowel problems.

These are just some of the problems caused if you don’t concentrate on holistic health solutions to help you lead your life well. You need to take control of sugar and food cravings and stop relying on processed foods by pretending you don’t have enough time to prepare your diet accordingly. Many of the major illnesses we suffer today, including arthritis, diabetes and cancer can be traced back to poor dietary health. Next time you have an excessive gas attack, consider whether it could be linked to your sugar addiction and make plans for change as soon as possible.
