Too much farting at night

Published by

Although I try not to eat too late at night, I still observe that I fart a lot at night. My wife has been complaining a lot about this bad habit. Kindly let me know what to do about this.

Gas and bloating are normal, especially after eating. But being more gassy at night can be a result of certain eating and drinking behaviours. Eating too fast, consuming a very large dinner, or eating certain kinds of foods at night are just some of the culprits.Pay attention to your diet. Avoid foods that cause excess gas buildup, such as broccoli, beans, cabbage, and carbonated drinks. Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly – this helps digestion and prevents swallowing air. Managing stress through relaxation techniques can also help reduce gas production.
