It works by gently dispersing the bubbles of gas that cause the embarrassing symptoms of trapped wind, such as bloating, gurgling and flatulence. Trapped wind can last from an hour up to a day at a time, depending on the circumstances. Despite the embarrassment that trapped wind can cause, passing wind is completely normal. The average person will break wind up more than 20 times a day! [2]. Gastrointestinal conditions such as Crohn’s disease and coeliac disease can interfere with the digestion of food in the upper part of the digestive tract. This leads to more undigested food, more fermentation and more gas in the lower intestine. Trapped wind is predominantly caused by bacteria in your large intestine, which release gases as they ferment undigested food. Taking steps to optimise your digestion and reducing readily fermentable foods can help to alleviate trapped wind.
