Dietitian Explains Nighttime Gas Issues.

Gas is a normal bodily function, but excessive gas may be a sign of a digestive issue. Certain behaviors can increase the likelihood of having more gas, especially at night. These include eating a large dinner, drinking carbonated beverages, chewing gum, eating too much fiber, consuming certain types of carbohydrates, and experiencing constipation. To reduce gas, eat regular meals and snacks throughout the day, increase fibrous foods slowly, eat slowly, reduce intake of trigger foods, and focus on gut health. Consult with a medical provider if you experience symptoms for a long time without relief or if gas is accompanied by pain, diarrhea, nausea, weight loss, or bleeding.
