Natural Remedies for Trapped Wind and a Tight, Gassy Tummy

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.

Your natural toolkit — and which to reach for

Here are the gentle natural picks people reach for on a tight, gassy tummy. You may also find our guide to Natural Remedies for Nausea That Comes and Goes helpful.
