Please see detail below
Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).Gas in intestine is due to production of excess gas due to intake of carbohydrates which is not digested by our body instead digested by bacteria in our intestine, like milk if there is lactose intolerance, beans, cabbage, pulses and rice so you should avoid it. Do exercise regularly. Take capsule simethicone which I found very useful in my patients. I hope there is no alarming features as you haven't mentioned like weight loss, blood in stool or loss of apetite then it may be due to some carbohydrates which are not digested as I have mentioned above or due to irritable bowel syndrome. For this, apart from above take a probitic and and gut antibiotic like rifxaximin. Bad odour from mouth may be due to abnormal gas, poor hygiene or reflux. So also take a proton pump inhibitor also. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
