Flatulence, diarrhea, constipation: if your gut isn’t running smoothly, it can become a constant burden. However, there’s a whole range of home remedies that can help you with digestive and intestinal problems.

Regardless of whether it’s bloating, flatulence or constipation, if your bowels feel off, it can spoil the fun of everything. But good news is, you can fix many of these problems yourself. These tips can help with mild, intermittent symptoms. However, if you have long-term, more serious problems with your digestion, be sure to consult a doctor.
