         Bloating is actually caused by excess gas in the intestines. A normal person's intestine produces about 7 to 10 liters of gas every day. Most of these gases are reabsorbed by the body, and only a small amount is excreted from the body in the form of burping or flatulence.

      There are many causes of flatulence in life, such as eating too fast or talking while eating, which results in swallowing too much air. Some foods themselves can easily cause gas, such as beans, apples, peaches, onions, cabbage, cereals, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other potato foods that are prone to gas. Dairy products are also foods that can easily cause gas. In addition, some gastrointestinal problems disease Diseases such as intestinal dryness and gallbladder disease can also cause flatulence.
