Gas is one of those symptoms people joke about publicly but privately can wreck your confidence, keep you anxious before meals, and make you dread situations that should feel normal.

The thing is, gas isn't random. The smell, the timing, and the pattern are all clues, and once you know how to read them, you can stop guessing and start actually supporting your digestion.

In this episode, Dr. Heather breaks down the most common gas patterns, what they're pointing to underneath, and why removing more foods is rarely the answer.

What we cover:

• Upper vs. lower gas and why the location matters
• Sulfur gas, dirty diaper gas, and chemical-smelling gas and what each pattern means
• What SIBO actually is and why hydrogen and methane patterns look completely different
• How your nervous system is affecting your digestion more than you realize
• Simple, practical things that move the needle without a strict protocol
