Can You Please Suggest Any Medication Or Solution To Resolve This Problem Farting ?
Question: Dear S/M, I am facing severe flatuance trouble. Several times of the day I feel heavy in stomach and frequent farts. The farting is very smelly resulting very odd situations. Can you please suggest any medication or solution to resolve this problem
Brief Answer:
Is there a pattern?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
What you describe sounds distressing. Have you investigated if there are certain food items or drinks that provoke this?
Have you ever had a colonoscopy?
There are medications that could be tried, but that depends on your answers to the above.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.

Dear Sir,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
Generally, this happens in the morning and evening hours
I have never gone through colonoscopy, but had a fistula laser surgery around 2.5 years back. Some observations are there but not sure of that, If I have tea with milk or wheat bread or anything related to it, I feel it increases bloating. But I am not sure of this pattern.
Please let me know in-case any more information is needed from my end.
Regards,
Neeraj

Brief Answer:
I recommend you are screened for malabsorption
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
What you describe could indicate some sort of malabsorption, e.g. lactose intolerance or celiac disease. This can be confirmed by excluding either all dairy products or gluten products, respectively. Alternatively, you could undergo serological screening for celiac disease. If malabsorption then seems unlikely, I recommend endoscopy, as previously mentioned.
Hope this helps.
