This guide lists homeopathic medicines that are commonly considered for gas and bloating, along with the symptom picture usually associated with each one.

About gas and bloating
Gas and bloating are very common. Some gas is normal: passing wind up to about fifteen to twenty times a day is usual. Excess gas comes from swallowing air (eating quickly, fizzy drinks, chewing gum), the fermentation of certain foods by gut bacteria, constipation, food intolerances (lactose, fructose, gluten), irritable bowel syndrome, small-intestine bacterial overgrowth and, less often, other digestive diseases. Eating slowly, smaller meals, a short walk after eating, reducing fizzy drinks and identifying trigger foods usually help. See a doctor if bloating is persistent or progressive, or comes with weight loss, vomiting, blood in the stool, severe pain, difficulty swallowing or yellowing of the skin, and women with persistent bloating (especially over 50) should have it checked.
