Hi there!

- He should avoids foods such as beans, cabbage, broccoli, raisins, lentils, prunes, apples, beacuse they take a long time to digest, leading to an unpleasant smell associated with flatulence. Foods high in fructose or sorbitol, such as fruit juices, can also cause an increase in flatulence.
- I would prescribe simethicone.
- Consult with your doctor if the problem persists.

Thanks for trusting HCM!
