What helps bloating fast?

In the moment: a 15 minute walk moves gas better than lying down, peppermint tea relaxes the gut wall, and gentle knee-to-chest positions help it pass.
For repeat offenders, the usual culprits are eating fast, carbonated drinks, onion and garlic, beans introduced too quickly, and sugar-free sweeteners ending in -ol.
Bloating that is constant rather than come-and-go, especially with weight loss, early fullness or changed bowels, needs a doctor, and in women persistent bloating should not be dismissed without thought to the ovaries.
