Gas in the stomach

The large quantity of water you drink slowly moves the dried fecal matter in your intestines. There will be no gas formation when your bowel movements are dry, but gas will be formed before this happens. For some, formation of gas begins on the third day of this new routine. Since you eat more fruit and unsalted curries, more of waste matter is produced. The earlier accumulated waste matter blocks it from moving forward. As a result gas is formed. Also, when you eat sprouted seeds for the first time, the proteins in them are not digested easily; so more gas is formed. Since it is formed out of half-digested food, it will not smell pleasant at all. Such gas will exit through the anus, if the large intestine is empty. If not, the gas will travel up and cause bloated ness in your abdomen and chest.

The sprouts you eat should be sprouted properly. They should be chewed and eaten properly. Otherwise gas will be formed. If the gas is too unpleasant, you may stop eating seeds for few days. Wait until your stomach gets used to unsalted food. When you have free bowel movement two, three times a day, then you can resume this food. During that period you can eat fruits or unsalted food. You will minimize the gas if you chew the food well. The bloated ness of your stomach will decrease in proportion to the gas in it. If you feel very uneasy, you can have hot water fomentation.
