GASES NATURAL TREATMENT – CHILDREN

Intestinal gases form in the large intestine by the digestion of foods by the intestinal flora (bacteria). If these gases take place of excessive form or they are retained can produce abdominal pains, sometimes intense, generally of acute form (colics) but in other occasions persistent and it weighs (stomach slowness). In spite of being a very annoying symptom usually it is not due to important diseases. Also it can happen that without no alteration of the amount of gases the abdominal pain by the increase of the sensitivity of the intestinal mucosa can be produced in normal gases, as it happens in certain intestinal diseases.
