What Foods Should Be Eaten To Avoid Flatulence? Does Metformin Cause Flatulence?
What foods can I eat that will avoid flatulence? Seems anything I eat cause it. Does metformin cause flatulence? Are there natural remedies I may take to avoid it? I try not to mix protein and carbohydrates and eat a balance diet including fruits and vegetables. I do not drink carbonated liquids but do drink 2 cups of coffee a day. I drink plenty of water. Quite embarrassing and cause me not to eat before or during public outings.

Hello,
Greasy foods,deep fried foods,colas,junk foods,METFORMIN all cause bloating and flatulence.
If you are taking METFORMIN,you can ask your doctor to lower the dose.
Take more of fresh fruits and green vegetables.
Drink plenty of water.
Eat light and do regular aerobic exercises for 45 minutes a day.
