The air in the digestive tract is known as gas. Gas usually leaves the body when one noisily releases air from the stomach through the mouth or through the anus. The excess amount of gas in the stomach or in the intestine, that can cause bloating and flatus is called Flatulence. However, the gas which leaves the body through the anus mostly contains sulfur. The more amount of sulfur in the flatus has more of an odor. The gas has a common scenario in every person. But having too much of the gas is uncommon.
Who is more likely to get gas issues?

There are many conditions which may cause a person to have more gas and symptoms when having a normal amount of gas in the digestive tract. The people who put away more amount of air through the throat or eat certain foods are more likely to have more gas. The gas in the digestive system is part of the usual process of digestion; however, gas pain occurs if gas is not moving well through the digestive system. Certain digestive system disorder, for example, irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, may cause an increase in gas or gas pain.

Symptoms
The following signs or symptoms of gas pains include:

• Burping
• Passing gas
• Pain, cramps
• The knotted feeling in the abdomen
• Bloating
• Distention

Immediate care is required if the gas pains are so severe or accompanied by other additional signs or symptoms such as stools, change in consistency of stools, change in bowel movements, loss of weight, constipation, chest pain, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Causes
Gas in the stomach is primarily caused by swallowing air while eating and drinking. When bacteria ferment carbohydrates, fiber, starches and sugars, which couldn’t be digested in the small intestine, gas forms in the large intestine. The bacterium also consumes some amount of that gas, and the remaining gas is released when passing the gas from the anus.

The foods which contain high fibers commonly cause gas such as beans and peas, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, among others. Other dietary factors that can contribute to increased gas in the digestive system include carbonated beverages, eating habits, such as eating too quickly, drinking by using a straw, chewing gum, fiber supplements containing psyllium may increase colon gas and sugar substitutes, which are sweeteners may cause excess colon gas.

Managing certain gas conditions through diet
If a person is diagnosed with celiac disease, the doctor will recommend a gluten-free diet. Most people with celiac disease see a good improvement in their symptoms when they follow a gluten-free diet.

If a person gets diagnosed with lactose intolerance, the doctor generally recommends limiting the amount of lactose while eating or drinking. Several people can manage the symptoms of lactose intolerance by changing their diet.

If a person is being diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, the doctor may refer to trying a special diet of FODMAP. The example of high FODMAP foods includes fruits and vegetables, dairy products, wheat and rye products, and foods that contain certain types of sweeteners.
