Brief Answer:
it is due to excessive excessive gas production

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for putting your query in hcm.

Flatulence may be due to excessive production of gas due to intake of non digestible carbohydrates which is then fermented by bacteria present in our gastrointestinal tract. It may be due to dairy products, beans, cabbage , artificial sweeteners or may be due to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. So I will advise you to avoid food items which I have mentioned if you are taking them. Along with this I will advise you to take a course of probiotic, tablet rifaximin 400mg twice a day and capsule simethicone tds. This all I found very useful in my patients with flatulence.

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health.
