We all produce gas in our intestines, especially our colons, or, at least, our intestinal bacteria produce it, from undigested food. We are fortunate because the overwhelming majority of the gas that is formed by the bacteria is used up by other bacteria in the intestine. A small amount of intestinal gas is absorbed into the blood from the intestine and is eliminated in the breath. The gas is also eliminated by burping or passing it through the rectum.
However, many people think they have too much gas when they really have normal amounts. Most people produce about 1 to 3 pints a day and pass gas about 14 times a day.
Gas is made primarily of odorless vapors--carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and sometimes methane. The unpleasant odor of gas comes from bacteria in the large intestine that release small amounts of gases that contain sulfur. Although having gas is common, it can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. Understanding causes, ways to reduce symptoms and treatment will help most people find relief.
GasReliefTM is a combination of some unique herbs like Amritha, Jyotishmati, Vana-ardraka, Pippali, Krishnam, Arittamanjarie which improves digestibility, enhances food absorption and provides complete relief from acidity. It also improves appetite.
Symptoms:

Sometimes a person with chronic belching may have an upper GI disorder, such as peptic ulcer disease, gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD), or gastro paresis.
Directions:
Add two grams of GasReliefTM to hot water, mix well, and take twice a day before food.
Precautions:
It is important to avoid periods of hunger or overeating.
Eat slowly and chew foods well. Sit up while eating and for 1 hour afterward.
Avoid eating within 3 hours before bedtime.
Bedtime snacks can cause gastric acid secretion during the night.
Cut down on caffeine-containing foods and beverages, citrus and tomato products, and chocolate if these foods cause discomfort. Include a good source of protein (milk, meat, egg, cheese, etc.)
