What Causes Farting All The Time?
Im a male, 35, not on any medication and I would consider my eating habits normal. A sandwich for breakfast, I dont drink coffee or tea, I drink about 2 litres a day of water, maybe a glass of ice tea, or juice. Dont smoke, regularly play football, but im farting all the time. Regulary..especially at night and once waking up in the morning. More than normal...is this a medical problem? I dont think I eat anything that can create it. No beans, no garlic, no soda...and not much sugar!

Well come to HCM
Thank for asking
I really appreciate your concern, formation of flatus could be due to infection, enzyme deficiency, talking at the time of eating, or it may be normal condition even noted in healthy normal person, if this is the infection then it can be managed with Tab Doxycycline 100 mg once in day for days it is the treatment given on tentative basis, for the enzymes deficiency may need some tests (Digestive function test ), stop talking while you eat, try to change the diet habit, stop eating fatty food, oily food, avoid junk food, have more vegetable diet, keep regular habit of defecation hope this information helps.
