"Hi, this is Rachael Richardson, with Nutrolution, in South Beach, Miami, Florida. In this clip, we're going to talk about how to reduce excess gas. Now, a lot of people think that excess gas comes from eating certain foods that don't react well with their body, and actually, that's probably true; however, the key that I think some people are missing is that it's all about how much good bacteria and ha, we have in our intestines, and having the right balance. So, I hate for somebody to let's say cut out an entire food group, let's say vegetables, because they have too much gas, when they really need those vegetables. And the way to offset the gas and to prevent the gas is with good healthy bacteria. So, whenever anyone complains about gas it's always a clear sign that they've got too much bad bacteria in their system, and it's time to start clearing out that bacteria. The best way to do that is by taking probiotics, which are these. These are an excellent form of probiotics, along with an antimicrobial supplement to help kill some of the bad bacteria, as well as taking a really good fiber supplement or even just some ground flax seed to help move the bacteria out of your system. And you will reduce your gas considerably this way. This is Rachael Richardson, and this has been how to reduce excess gas."
