Consuming more liquids like cold milk, warm water, buttermilk, lemon drinks and more can also help you get relief from a gassy stomach. However, just make sure to drink these liquids in moderation and make them fresh at home.

Apart from the aforementioned remedies, make sure you also avoid foods that might trigger gas and make your condition even worse. Examples may include cruciferous vegetables, artificial sweeteners, legumes, and dairy products like cheese.

If these remedies do not help, opt for over-the-counter medication or simply consult a doctor for a more effective treatment.
