Brief Answer:
Healthy diet

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply

1. As age advances the bowel movements reduce and therefore there is more chance of gas formation.

2. To prevent this you have to have diet consisting more of vegetables and less of junk foods and grains especially during travel

3. Need to take brisk walk or low intensity excercise in the morning to increase bowel movements.

4. Change in such diet and exercise pattern gradually will help you to overcome the gas trouble you mentioned.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Dr. Mahesh Koregol
