Hi, am having farting problem since one year.. I went to other country officially.. So that i stayed for 3 months and came back to home country for 4 days. Again for 5 months I went out of my country. From that time onwards I have fart problem. I came back to home country before 8 months. But farting did not stop.. Is it due to change in food habit.? If so I have changed to my routine as before. Why it does not cure yet.. Is it a serious problem.?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query. Do you have changes in bowel movement like consistency of stool? It can be due to dysbacteriosis or protozoal infestation. You can run a stool routine to rule out this. In case of such infections antibiotic therapy with metronidazole will be helpful. You can also take yogurts and kefir which contain probiotics which will be helpful in restoring a normal flora. Simethicone will be helpful in temporary relief from flatulence also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
