How To Prevent Excess Gas Formation?

I seem to have developed an excessive amount of gas over the past few years- I know that certain foods definitely make the odor worse but my main worry is my inability to be able to hold it in. It has gotten to the point where is interfering with my ability to be intimate with my husband.
I don't know if I have weak anal sphincter muscles or it is something else. Advise would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

Bloating and burping common in everybody, but if it more than twenty burps per day with a bad smell is abnormal. Probable causes are a food intolerance, altered gut flora or irritable bowel syndrome or malabsorption etcetera.

Avoid spicy food and caffeinated drinks. Use tablet simethicone twice a day for five days, if symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
