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.
