What Causes Gas & Bloating?
Gas and bloating are two common annoyances and are generally mild. According to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, or NDDIC, most people produce between 1 and 4 pints of gas daily and pass gas through belching or flatulence 14 times per day. However, in some cases, gas and bloating can cause pain and embarrassment. They may also indicate medical conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome or lactose intolerance. Severe or persistent gas and bloating should be addressed by a medical doctor.
