Aerophagia: The two most common problems are air swallowing and bacterial overgrowth in the colon. For the first problem, otc medicines like simethicone, beano, and activated charcoal can help. Peptobismol can decrease odor from gas. For the second, an otc probiotic may help. It is also important to note if any particular food makes it worse--common with lactose intolerance.
