How to improve the digestive power, so we don't have flatulence?

Question

Please don't say Beano!
I am trying to control flatulence. There should be a way to control it instead of Beano or Gas-X some other similar items...

Answer 1

Excessive flatulence is a sign of a food allergy/intollerance. The most common food allergies are caused by Dairy, Wheat flour and most other refined flours. (corn flour is usually safe, so is potato) Excessive fiber can cause such disturbances, however most people don't eat ENOUGH fiber, so that's unlikely to be the issue unless you happen to eat A LOT of it all the time. Beans are famous for their gaseous effects..but to be honest, I don't think beans are a real "gasser" for most people unless you happen to have a food allergy with beans. Cut the wheat, flour, and dairy from your diet for 3 days- I can almost guarrantee your flatulence will be diminished. I fart only about once a day! LOL Seriously, my diet is extremlely healthy and happens to be high in fiber (but not TOO high) instead of bread I eat brown rice, sweet potatoes, ect. Tortilla chips & anything made out of corn flour doesn't seem to bother me one bit. I also noticed a reduction in acne when I started doing this. Try it and see! Better than having to constantly down Beano all day!

Answer 3

There are different things that can cause this, so you'll need to weed them out to see which one or ones is the problem;

-gas producing foods; beans, broccoli, etc.
-not chewing food enough and drinking liquids with food
-eating too fast
-problems with an imbalance in the gut bacteria
-stress

Try eating a good organic yogurt that has no fruits or anything in it. Get lots of fiber in your diet; apples, grains, veggies, etc. Get exercise daily, walk, swim, bike, etc. Eat healthy foods, not fatty, greasy, junky. Drink lots of water. Don't drink any sodas. Limit wine and beer.

Answer 4

In addition to all the other great answers, I suggest using Colon Cleanse. It will clean out impacted waste and toxins from your body, and the farts will calm down. Flatulance won't go away entirely, you're gonna have farts to some extent no matter what. lol

Answer 5

A very strong probiotic.

The strongest one VSL#3 is probably way more than your need. but aim in the are of 10 cells

other than that things with an antispasmodic property like Peppermint, Chamomile, and others.

Answer 6

quit drinking beer and drink whiskey instead!

in reality, the only way to do so is reduce carbs and increase meat consumptions!

but it is a give/take situation.
might not do it at often, but....

Answer 7

reducing carbs i heard would do it, try taking some different enzymes, or just do what is natural..... to an extent. Or so my wife says.

Answer 8

Be a man! Just fart!
