Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In most cases, our dietary choices could lead to excessive flatulence. Some foods that increase gas include beans, cabbage, broccoli, raisins, lentils, prunes, apples, foods high in fructose or sorbitol, such as fruit juices.
These foods can take a long time to digest, leading to the unpleasant smell associated with flatulence. If your diet doesn’t contain a large amount of carbohydrates or sugars, and you don’t swallow excessive air, your excessive flatulence may be due to a medical condition. Potential conditions associated with flatulence range from temporary conditions to digestive problems such as inflammatory bowel diseases, gastroenteritis, diabetes or peptic ulcer.
As remedies, you should look at your diet. If it contains a large amount of carbohydrates that are difficult to digest, try to replace them. Carbohydrates that are easier to digest include potatoes, rice, and bananas. Also, try to eat around 5 to 6 small meals a day instead of 3 larger ones to help your digestive process.
Chew your food properly to avoid doing anything that may increase the amount of air. This includes making sure that you are chewing your food properly, and avoiding chewing gum or smoking. Also, drink some peppermint tea, chamomile tea and ginger.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
