How to relieve trapped wind

Trapped wind (flatulence) can make you feel full, bloated and uncomfortable. Wind, or gas, is produced during digestion as bacteria in the gut breaks down food and it’s a normal part of the process.

Our bodies can produce up to 25 litres of gas a day but just a small amount is released as wind.
