Well, gas can enter your GI tract in a few different ways. Of course, everybody knows it’s easy to burp after guzzling down a carbonated beverage, but simply swallowing air – aka “aerophagia” – is a really common way to introduce gas and bloating to your system. Usually, the air gets halfway down your esophagus and then you expel it back through your mouth.

But, when you swallow air and don’t belch it out, it enters your stomach. And sometimes that air makes it all the way to your stomach and can even cause pain. Usually, if you feel pain due to gas, it’s because gas is not well tolerated by your long, inflexible small intestine. Later, it’s expelled as intestinal gas.

And there are other causes of gas and bloating – like intolerance of certain carbohydrates, bacterial overgrowth in your small intestine, functional bowel disorders like leaky gut syndrome or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
