“Is gas and bloating normal during pregnancy?”
I am 5 months pregnant and I am suffering from severe bloating and gas. It makes me feel very uncomfortable. Are there any home remedies to treat this boating and gas?

Yep, unfortunately it can happen. Sometimes foods that didn't cause bloating and gas can do it in pregnancy. Go online and review foods that bloat, monitor what you eat.
TUMS or other calcium carbonite agents can help and should be ok

Hi, bloating and gas are a common experience in pregnancy. The hormones effect the intestines, usually by slowing them down which gives the intestinal bacteria more time to create gas, which then causes bloating. It is safe to take GasX and Digel during pregnancy. Other than increasing fiber intake (I would avoid Metamucil as some bacteria will process that type of fiber but other fiber products without that type of fiber can help) and avoiding foods that make you gassy. If you have a food/drink which 'makes you go', that might help as well.
This may be normal for you. These symptoms may be relieved by the usual eating and drinking choices that provide relief from gas pain. Consult your prenatal care provider.
