Hello
 People can experience an increase in flatulence for several reasons.this can be either due to swallowed air or by your food habits or if you are having some digestive diseases.

Swallowing air, which is medically referred to as aerophagia, contributes to the normal formation of gas and the resulting flatulence. During the day, everyone swallows small amounts of air when eating and breathing. Those that chew gum, suck on hard candies, smoke or eat quickly swallow excess amounts of air, which leads to increased flatulence. People who are chronically nervous tend to have increased flatulence because they tend to swallow more often.

The average Indian diet consists mainly of carbohydrates. Some of those carbohydrates are unable to be digested and absorbed by the small intestine. Because of this, the food moves undigested from the small intestine to the large intestine, where it is broken down by bacteria. When bacteria feed on undigested food in the large intestine, they produce hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane as byproducts. These gases are released through the anus as flatulence. Those who eat high amounts of food items that contain carbohydrates that cannot be digested experience increased flatulence.  They include beans, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, raisins, prunes, apples etc. Daily intake of the sugar substitute, sorbitol and Indian sweets can also result in flatulence.

In some people, structural abnormalities or enzyme deficiencies can result in an inability to digest certain foods, which can lead to increased flatulence. Lactose intolerance is an inability to digest the milk sugar lactose because of a lack of the enzyme lactase. Those with lactose intolerance experience increased flatulence after the ingestion of milk and other dairy products.Other digestive diseases, such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis and irritable bowel syndrome,coeliac disease can also lead to increased flatulence.

Do's for you
Eat your food slowly and after proper chewing.
Take more meals instead of large meals.
Reduce your quantity of meals
Don't talk and see TV during eating.
Eat your food in relaxed way without hurry.
Avoid colas,sweets,junk foods.
Take plenty of water to drink.
Get up from your seat every hour and go around your office block for five minutes.
Take more of fresh fruits and XXXXXXX vegetables.
Take out some time in morning also for exercises and YOGA would be a perfect exercise for you.
Never lie down immediately after your food.There should be a gap of 2 hours between your food and lying down.

Rosuvastatin can cause constipation,nausea,heartburn but I don't think that your excessive flatulence is due to this,however you talk to your treating doctor regarding this and may stop it to see the response.

Your TSH levels are high and so you require a higher dose of eltroxine.
Talk to your doctor for this.
Get your blood sugar fasting and PP done.

I hope to have answered your query however you may revert to me for any further query.

Hello XXXXXXX
The dose of thyrox you are taking is less so you must talk to your doctor for increasing the dose of this.
Carry on with the medicines as prescribed.
NXITO 5 is used for depression,anxiety and insomnia.
