Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

The flatulence can be related to a number of causes including diet and medications. It occurs in relation to GERD/ reflux disease and irritable bowel syndrome as well. Lack of fiber in diet is also a possible cause as well as diabetic gastroperesis.

Ispaghula Husk and Peppermint Oil can be advised , empirically, to see for improvement.


Wishing you best of health
