Non-Pharmacological Treatments & Advice To Reduce Gases

• Eat and drink slowly. Taking your time can help you swallow less air. Try to take your meals in relaxed occasions; eating when you're stressed or on the run increases the air you swallow.
• Avoid carbonated drinks. They release carbon dioxide gas.
• Skip the gum and hard candy. When you chew gum or suck on hard candy, you swallow more often than normal. Part of what you're swallowing is air.
• Don't smoke. When you inhale smoke, you also inhale and swallow air.
• Check your dentures. Poorly fitting dentures can cause you to swallow excess air when you eat and drink.
• Get moving. It may help to take a short walk after eating.
