One of the most common causes of gas is food that's not properly digested. When you eat quickly, you're more likely to swallow large chunks of food that take time to dissolve. You also tend to consume more food overall and may swallow a lot of air. Take the time to chew each bite thoroughly, mashing it into smaller pieces that will digest quickly. If the food passes through your digestive system without delays, it's less likely to form gas. Also, taking the time to chew your food allows you to feel fuller in between bites, so you may eat less.
