Quran
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوا مِمَّا فِي الْأَرْضِ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُبِينٌ
"O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy."
Surah Al-Baqarah · 2:168
Emphasizes consuming tayyib (wholesome, pure) foods that are easily digestible and avoiding harmful substances that corrupt digestion and produce excess gas and fermentation.
فَأَنشَأْنَا لَكُم بِهِ جَنَّاتٍ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ لَّكُمْ فِيهَا فَوَاكِهُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ وَشَجَرَةً تَخْرُجُ مِن طُورِ سَيْنَاءَ تَنبُتُ بِالدُّهْنِ وَصِبْغٍ لِّلْآكِلِينَ
"And We brought forth for you thereby gardens of palm trees and grapevines; for you therein are abundant fruits and from them you eat. And [We brought forth] a tree issuing from Mount Sinai which produces oil and food for those who eat."
Surah Al-Mu'minun · 23:19-20
References olive oil (zayt) which classical physicians prescribed to reduce intestinal gas, ease digestion, and soften the bowels when bloating occurs.
Sahih Hadith
مَا عَابَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم طَعَامًا قَطُّ إِنِ اشْتَهَاهُ أَكَلَهُ وَإِنْ كَرِهَهُ تَرَكَهُ
"The Messenger of Allah never criticized food. If he desired it, he would eat it, and if he disliked it, he would leave it."
Establishes the principle of eating according to bodily temperament and avoiding foods that cause personal distress or digestive upset, a key preventive measure against bloating and gas.
الشِّفَاءُ فِي ثَلاَثَةٍ فِي شَرْطَةِ مِحْجَمٍ أَوْ شَرْبَةِ عَسَلٍ أَوْ كَيَّةٍ بِنَارٍ وَأَنَا أَنْهَى أُمَّتِي عَنِ الْكَىِّ
"Healing is in three things: in the incision of the cupper, in drinking honey, or in cauterization by fire, but I forbid my Ummah from cauterization."
Honey is mentioned as a therapeutic remedy, which Ibn Sina specifically prescribed mixed with warm water to expel intestinal wind and relieve bloating through its digestive and carminative properties.
بِمَ تَسْتَمْشِينَ قَالَتْ بِالشُّبْرُمِ قَالَ حَارٌّ جَارٌّ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ اسْتَمْشَيْتُ بِالسَّنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَوْ أَنَّ شَيْئًا كَانَ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ لَكَانَ فِي السَّنَا
"What do you use as a laxative? She said: Shubrum. He said: It is hot and strong. She said: Then I used Senna. The Prophet said: If there was anything that could save from death, it would be Senna."
Senna (sanā) is prophetically endorsed for digestive complaints and was classically used to expel trapped intestinal gas, relieve bloating, and evacuate corrupt humors causing flatulence.
