There are two purposes to this lesson. First we want the kids to identify what giants they are facing. In order to do that they must. understand what a giants is. The word giants must be explained to them or it can be confus-. ing. A giant is a big problem in their life that they feel they cannot handle. We donât want. the kids to think a giant is a 9 foot tall man.
Other causes of excess gas include: 1  Swallowed air. You swallow air every time you eat or drink. 2  Another health condition. Excess gas may be a symptom of a more serious chronic condition. 3  Food intolerances.
Bloating can be caused by diet, particularly if someone has a high salt intake or eats a lot of gas-producing foods, such as dark leafy vegetables or beans. Calcium supplements can also cause gas in some people. A simple reflex like inhaling can be the cause of bloating. Some people actually swallow more air in as a result of stress, or simply when they eat. Chewing on gum and smoking can also make you inhale more air, aggravating the discomfort.
