Brief Answer:
As explained.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX.
Thanks for your query.
Lot of flatulence and gas, tried Unienzyme and Ayurvedic Medicines with temporary relief.

Please provide some more details:
For how much length of time you have this problem?
Is the wind foul smelling ?
More of eructations or wind passing out of anus?
What are your associated symptoms like pain in abdomen, color and consistency of stool?
Any investigations done till now like stool examination , ultrasonography ?

If you provide me more details it will help me to help you.

Till then I would like to give you a general outline of this problem that many people have.

The most important reasons of gases are:
Gall bladder stones
Intestinal infection not treated completely
Stress or anxiety, causes air swallowing (aerophagia)
Disturbed intestinal bacterial flora.
Certain foods and beverages can cause more gases

I would advise all such patients the following:
Routine blood (CBC, blood sugar, Creatinine) , urine and stool tests.
Ultrasonography of the abdomen.

I trial with a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole for 5 days.
Activated charcoal tablets, Prebiotics and probiotics, multivitamins.
Avoid foods and beverages (like coca cola and soda), which you must have observed by this time that cause more gas problem.
Eat less, walk around after food, sleep early, get up early , moderate exercises.
Avoid stress and anxiety at any cost. This is in your hands to decide.

If you have gall bladder stones, you will need to get operated to remove the gall bladder.

I hope this answer helps you to understand the causes that may cause you the gas problems. Rectify the causes and you may be fine.
You will have to continue with the changed diet / lifestyle to maintain a gas-free life.

Waiting for your details.
Please feel free to for any clarifications if you need to have, discuss anything freely so that I can be of help to you.

Have a great day.
