Hi,
Flatulence might be due to
aerophagia or gastric or intestinal flatulence. So it's must to find out which type it is. I advice you to:
-Chew food thoroughly, eat slowly and leisurely.
Avoid:
- Talking during meals
- Excess carbonated drinks.
- Chewing gums, betel nuts.
- Avoid: Gas forming foods eg. Cabbage, cauliflower, peas etc & also air whipped food, eg: butter milk, milk shakes, sponge, cakes, idlis, puris.
- Take
Antacid with dimethycon tablet or liquid after food
- Rule out amoebic infection.
lf associated diarrhoea: Take Enzyme digestants and
pancreatin after each meal.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
