Suggest Medication For Severe Flatulence

Slightly embarrassing, but I really need it to go away! Passing gas all the time now (didn t happen before, but for over a week now I have almost constant gas and it doesn t hurt (so I don t think I have IBS), but it leaks despite me trying to control it and it s so embarrassing! Even though I don t think it has a particularly strong smell, espeically in small amounts, but it s made me extremely self conscious.I have tried this naturopathic (if that s how you say it) gas reliever (Hyland s Gas tablets; all you do is pop a couple or three in your mouth and wait for them to dissolve). They worked the first couple times or so, but not anymore :( Also, I became constipated around this time and I really want to increase my intake in fiber, but I am afraid it will just result in more uncontrollable gas. And since I am a student and some of my classes can be over an hours sitting to 2-3 hours, it gets very, very uncomfortable because I feel like that aggravates it even more!

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Basic issue is to regulate the digestion thoroughly, where many times simple gas tablets do not work.

Work up with routine casuals to manage regular walking, exercises, weight, cholesterol and sugar control are major.

Along with which, digestive enzymes, prokinetics as itopride, bulk forming laxatives will help to relieve the intestine pressure.

Strict dietary measures to avoid all spices, fatty items are important.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel,
General Surgeon
