(HealthDay News) -- Gas is air in the digestive tract, says the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Swallowing less air is a key way help reduce symptoms.
For other ways to reduce excess gas, the NIH suggests:
Eat slowly.
Avoid gum and hard candies.
Quit smoking.
Eat smaller, more frequent meals.
Ask your doctor about over-the-counter medications.
