Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Flatulence is mainly due to altered bowel bacteria, insoluble fiber diet and abnormal absorption of food.
2. To improve commensal bacteria (normal) in bowel, you need to take probiotics.
3. Take more soluble fiber in diet from fruits and vegetables. Along with it take plenty of water. Insoluble fiber moves on into colon and serves as food for bacteria, increasing gas production and hence flatulence.
4. As you are avoiding specific food, look into certain items and avoid it. Start doing this, atleast after a week of probiotics.
5. Avoid alcohol and stay well dehydrated. Continue with good sleep and moderate exercises.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
