Fennel Seeds
Posted by Katherine (Seattle, Wa, Usa) on 09/14/2011

Last night, my brother cooked for me. I drank a little bit of ACV afterwards because I could feel my stomach going funny. Unfortunately, the ACV did not prevent gas. I have no idea what in the meal caused it, but it was quite literally painful. I tried to sleep about an hour after eating and I couldn't because I kept having horrible pains.
Fennel tea, HALLELUJAH!
I just pounded about a teaspoon of the seeds in my morter & pestle, put that into a tea and and poured over freshly boiled water. I also added a tiny tiny bit of honey for sweetness. This actually tasted pretty good, and I could not believe what an immediate affect it had!
I paced my room while drinking it, and while I burped once (the gas was still early in the digestive system), I don't think that got rid of it all. So, I would say that somehow the fennel neutralized the gas. I don't know how it worked, but I had been trying to sleep for like an hour, then after drinking this, managed to fall asleep within about 15 minutes.
I am sooooooooooo thankful. I did wake up later, but when I woke up, I had no pain whatsoever.
My point is, I definitely recommend this!!!

Thanks so much to the person who recommended fennel seeds! I tried fennel seed tea because I thought it might work faster than the capsules and it has worked every morning I tried it for over a week now after drinking my two glasses of soy milk which usually give me terrible gas. The taste is great with about 3/4ths of a tsp. of agave syrup. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Angie

I use Fennel Seed for gas. I'm lactose intolerant so after eating ice cream or the likes I pop a fennel seed capsule & it stops the gas. You can also purchase the seeds instead of the capsules. They taste like black licorice which isn't my favorite so I bought the capsules. Fennel seeds are commonly used in India to freshen breath & aid in digestion.
Fenugreek

Fenugreek's leafy form belongs to the spinach family. However, its seeds are useful when cooking to combat the flatulence caused by certain foods, such as lentils and cauliflower. Its anti-viral properties mean it also helps against sore throat and mouth ulcers. Historically, fenugreek has been used to treat diabetes and is now thought to reduce blood pressure.

Ginger

The best remedy for gas is ginger root extract, although ginger tea or ginger powder is fine. This will remove those gases from the stomach. If that doesn't help, you may limit bacterial growth with mannito added to the ginger tea (without sugar) or ginger supplement as this will prevent bacteria from sticking to the intestinal wall so they don't ferment harmful chemicals. And you can add on top of that oat bran everyday. The best is actually prebiotic, not probiotic, which means adding leeks, garlic, onion to the diet to have a normal intestinal flora, and alkalized which means 30 minutes after a meal you take say 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda at dinner and lunch for example. I have taken an interest in ginger because they limit lipid peroxidation, which doesn't mean much to most people but it means a great deal to me as it prevents artheriosclerosis, liver toxicity from oxidative chemicals and restores normal intestinal flora, and perhaps sleep.

Goldenseal Enema
Posted by Mark ( Portland, Oregon) on 11/16/2008

Hi, I have found a great gas/bloating remedy. If you put a capsule of golden seal in an enema bag with warm (purified) water, it makes the best enema. At least for me, it makes me go and go until I am completely clean and fresh. I like it much better than coffee, and it really clears my head. I feel like it gives the digestive tract a fresh start and cleanses my blood. This is also a great way to move out hardened waste and therefore lose some excess weight. It also seems to cure constipation which I used to get, but now is very rare, which usually comes on from eating something bad. I just do another enema! Also I do one whenever I feel like I am starting to get sick and if I do it early enough it just goes away. In fact I haven't taken a sick day in over 4 years! It only takes a few minutes to do and then I just jump in the shower. All the benefits of golden seal in a powerful and quicker way.
Gripe Water

Gripe Water was immediate relief for chronic belching/gas. I saw that reference in your 'remedies'. I put three droppers' full into any beverage after I've eaten anything. Thank you to the person(s) who recommended this. I found it in Walgreen's baby aisle.

To people who are troubled with flatulence (gas) you may find ginger easier to find than fenugreek seeds -just add 1/4 tsp. of ground ginger to your pot of beans, cabbage,etc. -changes taste little or none.
Homemade Apple Juice

Given a few bags of apples, I decided to make some fresh apple juice using my juicer machine. It takes a little work straining them a few times to get rid of all the extra matter that comes along. But definitely well worth it. One night, awakened by stomach gases, running from the bed to the bath (I think you know what happened), I had to miss a day of work. The next morning still feeling horrible, I drank a glass of the juice. Immediately, I felt better. It cured my nausea and helped release all the gases and toxins in my system.

Miso Soup is excellent for Flatulence and expelling gas.
In a glass of warm water, mix 1 tsp on Red Miso. Let the miso mix well. Drink this soup, you will see the gas being expelled in 1 hour and make your stomach light and flat.
Personally, I do this

Naltrexone

Naltrexone helped me for gas/flatulence and I also less wanted to eat after taking it
I also suggest to take zeolite, bentonite, activated charcoal and multiple antiparasitic like turpentine and methylene blue
Oregano Oil
Posted by Savvyherb (Pittsburgh, Usa) on 05/16/2011

Hi, I'd like to add Oil of Oregano as an amazing remedy for smelly gas. I had tried everything - digestive enzymes, probiotics, betaine (HCL acid), garlic and nothing really worked that well. Or they worked for a while but then stopped working. Now I take a capsule of oil of oregano twice a day with meals. More if I eat a dessert. I've been doing this for over a year and I now rarely have gas. It's truly amazing. But, it may not work on its own - you may need other supplements/diet changes.
Ozonated Water
Posted by Gretta (Ireland) on 08/22/2013

For flatulence problems, buy an ozonator and drink a liter of ozonated water every morning on an empty stomach for at least 2 months. The ozone will kill all bad bacteria, viruses, fungus and other poisons in both the small and large intestine. I believe this will cure all gas problems. If you can not afford an ozonator, put one or two drops of food grade hydrogen peroxide into a glass of water and drink it on an empty stomach every morning for a few months. I believe these are also cures for cancer. Cancer is anaerobic and can not survive in the presence of oxygen. Ozone has 3 molecules of oxygen. It is called 03. Hydrogen Peroxide also introduces extra oxygen into the body. It is called H2O2. If you are in a hurry to be cured, a quicker way would be to empty yourself out completely by fasting for 5 days on nothing but ozonated water. It says in the bible that fasting is not a suggestion. It is an order and should be done annually. I am not a medical doctor or a bible expert.
Peppermint Tea

I keep Peppermint oil in water near me at all times. Recently I was experiencing some severe flatulence. I reached for some peppermint water and took a swig and the gas immediately stopped. I found it extraordinarily effective. I recommend it!
