i seem to always swallow air when I swallow food. I end up with a lot of gas.  What am I doing wrong?

you are probably not cutting your food small enough. big food, big mouth, big air.

Gas pocket?  Have you burped or eaten anything?  Try eating something and taking a spoonful of baking soda.  If not that, tums does the trick.

when you slepp (useually anyway!) u are lying down. the stomach acids and enzymes inside your digestive channell release gasses when they break down food. these gasses are carbon dioxide and methane. anyway, when your laying down, those gasses are free to travel back up the channell and into your stomach and oesophegus, eventually back into your throat ana mouth. the only way you could treat this sympton without an air freshener in your mouth, is to eat a couple of tictacs before you go to sleep

If you eat your food too quickly or gulp it down with out chewing properly it can cause wind. It may be a simple idea of slowing down your eating. Mind you a diet of veg and fruit will give you wind too. But better out than in i guess!

it can be gas pains or from the body cramping up. when you are digesting you need blood to do so, if you are runing yuou are using the blood for activity, the bodies natural response is to cramp up to tell the body it needs more blood in that area.

Some people get hypotension after eating, particularly a large meal.  I'm guessing this is because blood is diverted to the GI tract and the brain suffers a temporary reduction in oxygen.  Try eating smaller meals and perhaps resting afterward.

The physiology of passing flatulence usually involves holding your breath to increase the pressure in your abdominal cavity.  By doing so, you are able to use your abdominal muscles and pass your gas.  When you hold your breath, it is impossible to talk as you need air to pass by your vocal cords to produce a sound.  \n\nThis is not to say that there are not talented people out there who can do both at one time, but they are probably the minority.\n\nNext time you have to fart while talking, just try to pass your gas without taking in and holding a deep breath.  you might find it a bit more of a challenge.\n\nGood Luck!

I guess it's excess salivation would be the cause. It' a good idea to swallow whenever you feel the saliva in your mouth or when you start spitting while talking.\nTry standing at a distance when talking to people until you get it under control.\nTry talking slowly instead of fast.

what kind of foods are you eating?  if you're constantly downing fast food and other junk foods then it's time to reconsider what you eat.\n\nWhen are you eating?  what are your activities after you eat?  If you're eating and then taking a 5 mile run then that could be why.  Conversely, if you're eating at the wrong times (like 2am after a night of binge drinking) then that could be your problem too.

Eat slowly without talking and taking deep breaths.  People who consume food too fast or talk while eating, tend to take air in which ends up in their stomach with their food!  Take it easy!

Depends on what you ate thats giving you gas..\n\nMostly, no. But you can get drowsy from lack of oxygen.

Yes. You could be eating too much fiber, you could have a very slow digestive tract that allows waste to sit there for too long, you could be eating foods that make you build up gas (cabbage, beans, broccoli, etc.), or you could have a health condition. Talk to your doctor for a definite diagnosis. This certainly is not natural.

Well,perhaps you need to slow down a little so the saliva in your mouth has a chance to dry/be swallowed. I had and i mean-Had a friend who did that to me all the time cause she just rambled and rambled and......

Strangly enough, Chewing gum can give you gas.  The simple act of chewing involves you swallowing a good amount of air.  The more air you swallow, the more of a chance of a burp you will have.

a burp can be caused by swallowed air

I have that same problem. Try to avoid caffeine or carbonated drinks or foods that would produce gas. If it helps, buy some over the counter medicine.
