what side to lay on for gas

Lie on your left side for gas relief. It can help gas move through the digestive tract more easily and may reduce bloating and discomfort.

Quick tip

  • Try left side + knees slightly drawn up for a bit more relief.
  • If you also have acid reflux or heartburn , left-side sleeping is usually the better choice.

When to get checked
