Hello,
Flatulence results from the production of gas by bacteria within the intestines (usually the colon) when they digest dietary sugars and polysaccharides that reach the colon undigested.
The greater ability of some bacteria to produce gas, maldigestion or malabsorption of sugars and polysaccharides such as that seen in chronic pancreatitis with pancreatic insufficiency, celiac disease, and bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine.
So, avoid food like lactulose and peanut. Avoid corn syrup, processed carbohydrates, caffeinated drinks, and smoking. Use capsule Flatubust twice a day for five days, tablet Rifaximine thrice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved, 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.
