That tight, gurgling, gassy pressure that won’t shift — trapped wind can leave you shuffling in your seat, willing it to move on.
If a tight, gassy tummy is your regular companion, here are the gentle natural remedies people reach for.
Why wind gets trapped
Trapped wind builds when gas forms faster than a sluggish gut can move it along.
- Gas that won’t pass, pockets of wind stuck in the gut.
- Sluggish digestion, a slow gut struggling to move gas through.
- Trigger foods and swallowed air, the usual sources of extra wind.
The short version: trapped wind is gas the gut can’t move, and gentle support helps digestion clear it.
