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.
Excess gas may be a symptom of a more serious chronic condition. Examples include diverticulitis or an inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Excess gas and bloating may also be a symptom of bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine from conditions such as diabetes.
There are two main causes of gas: swallowed air and the normal breakdown of undigested food -- especially sugar, starches, and fiber. Your body expels this gas through burps and farts. Everyone does it. In fact, when your body is healthy, it's normal to pass gas 14 to 23 times a day. Bloating can be caused by too much gas in the intestines, although you can also feel bloated and have a normal amount of gas.
