Suggest Treatment For Stomach Gas And Flatulence
Question: I am suffering from gas problem. farting a lot. pls suggest ways to stop it.
Brief Answer:
Avoid dairy/probiotics/simethicone
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your questions.
There are several things that can cause this and some remedies that you can try.
It is common for adults to develop some lactose intolerance which is a condition where you can't digest dairy products adequately and it can cause a lot of gas and sometimes cramping and loose stools.
Trying to eliminate dairy may be helpful. There are also supplements called lactase that you can take with dairy products to help with their digestion. Some people also have problems with gluten which is in wheat products so trying to eliminate that could be something to try as well. Some foods just cause gas such as beans/broccoli/cabbage. When eating those there is a liquid supplement called beano that you can use when eating them to avoid the gas they can cause.
For all causes of gas there is an over the counter product called simethicone that can help relieve gas symptoms when you are having the problem.
Adding a probiotic to youR diet daily may also help with restoring the normal bacteria in your system and sometimes can also help relieve with gas symptoms.
Good luck in getting rid of this problem.
