Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

There is some information on this on the NHS website

Other tips include,

• Try to avoid food and drink that can cause wind – this includes beans, garlic, onions, sugar-free chewing gum, fizzy drinks and some alcoholic drinks.
• Eat slowly and chew food well.
• Take peppermint capsules or drink peppermint diluted with warm water. You can get these from your local pharmacy.
• Drink peppermint or fennel tea.

Some people find that these foods can cause wind so you might want to consider whether these foods affect you. If they do, try avoiding them or reducing the amount you eat:

• Beans and other pulses, such as chickpeas
• Members of the brassica family, such as cabbage, brussels sprouts and cauliflower
• Sweetcorn,
• Onions
• Pickles
• Fizzy drinks
• Some artificial sweeteners, including mannitol, sorbitol and xylitol
• You could try common remedies such as peppermint water, capsules or tea, fennel tea and baby’s gripewater.

I hope this helps,

Best wishes,

Vanda
