There are a lot of reasons you may suffer from a gas attack. For one thing, it's a natural function of your intestinal tract, and it doesn't need another reason to strike you. However, there are a few things you can do that will make an attack more likely.
Bubbly beverages, such as beer, carbonated beverages and even champagne are going to introduce bubbles to your stomach. They have to come out in one direction or the other, so you will either burp or "pass the wind."
High speed eating may be great for getting you back on the job fast, but about half an hour later, you're going to start paying for it. Improper chewing is part of the problem, though what you eat may also play a role. Foods like beans will increase your chances of embarrassment.
Another difficulty comes from swallowing air. Bottled beverages are handy, and having a lid can decrease the chances of a spill, but they also introduce air into your stomach. As with the beverages, that air has to go somewhere.
So, what can you do when you have this problem? Actually there are a few remedies that could be useful. Some of them are probably in your spice rack right now.
Caraway: All members of the carrot family have carminative powers. That's one reason parsley is usually a garnish on plates. However, caraway seems to have the best effect. If you're fresh out, look for the other family members; cumin, anise, fennel and dill are all helpful.
Chamomile: Besides helping you sleep, this gentle flower can also ease the gas problem in your abdomen. It may make you drowsy, so use caution if you are driving or using heavy machinery.
Hops: I have wondered if this was added to beer for its taste or perhaps to help stop the problem the bubbles cause. Like chamomile, however, it may cause drowsiness.
Sage: Not only does sage have an effect on gas production, it also can soothe irritable bowels. If you're breastfeeding, however, don't use sage in anything but food amounts. Herbalists use it to help stop the flow of milk at weaning time.
Valerian: While it would not be my ideal choice, the sleep inducing qualities of this stinky plant could settle the guts. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery after taking valerian, as it could put you to sleep.
It's always a good idea to check with your doctor or pharmacist before using herbal remedies. This is especially true if you have a medical condition or you take medications. Some herbs will interact with drugs, and it could cause you a lot of harm.
