Dear sir/madam I would like to thank you for giving free advice to the people, I m 34 years old who had miserable life for around 10 years, I have Uncontrollable Flatulence in almost every moment I can t be around with friend I have been visited lots of time the doctor and there is no solution they told me to avoid the food that gave me constipation, most of the time I had constipation but sometimes I have diarrhoea , BUT THE lEAKING GAS is there even if I didn t eat and tried to empty my bowel by drinking lots of water especially early in the morning by drinking warm water but the gas passed without I notice, this is making my life miserable , I eat lots of salad and I increase fibre , I don t eat any chillies and rice or white bread which really make it worst, I drink paper mint, anise sometimes boiled water with cumin seed but nothing work, I did sigmoidoscopy and endoscopy but they say everything is ok I used smoke shisha every month once years ago but I stopped long time but I don t smoke and drink alcohol
