How Can Uncontrolled Flatulence Be Stopped?
Hi! I haven't had a cigarette for over 6 months now after being a chain smoker for over 40 years. My problem now is flatulence. i never had this problem before and it's terrible. It happens at any time without warning and I am wondering why and what I can do to stop it.

Hello,
Flatulence may be due to gastritis, Irritable Bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel problems, food Intolerance or malabsorption etcetera.
Avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. If symptoms not improved, then please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
