What is trapped wind?

Trapped wind occurs when bubbles of gas become trapped in the digestive tract. The gas can be trapped in the stomach, causing burping or, in the lower intestine, resulting in flatulence.

It can be caused by swallowing air, consuming carbonated beverages like fizzy pop and beer, eating too fast or gulping drinks, or even as a side effect of another medication. Food intolerances, such as lactose intolerance and coeliac disease, are common culprits of trapped wind.

The symptoms of trapped wind include:

• Bloated stomach
• Burping
• Lower abdominal pain
• Nausea (feeling sick)
• Passing wind (flatulence)
• Stomach ache

The pain of trapped wind can radiate to your back or chest. Depending on where the trapped wind is, your symptoms may develop in your upper or lower abdomen.

While the symptoms of trapped wind can be uncomfortable, they can be treated easily with over-the-counter medicine.

If you are unsure whether the stomach pain you are experiencing is caused by trapped wind, or if you have been experiencing stomach pain for a prolonged time, speak to your doctor.
