PLEASE NO OFFENSIVE ANSWERS OR REMARKS.

Answer 1

Please tell your doctor this. Also try Beano its an over the counter medicine for this problem

Answer 2

A certain amount of gas is just natural, but I can relate. The best way that I know other than eating habbits, herbal tea and excercise, is to suggest medication (if you think it's out of control). There's over the counter products, or you can ask a doctor.

Answer 3

Avoid sodas, caffine, and especially meat and dairy products. Eat lots of veges, complex starches (rice and potatoes), chew your food carefully. Other than that, there really isn't much you can do. There is some product, beano, that relieves gas, I hear that a teaspoon of vinegar once a day will do the same thing. I have also heard that you can steep one quarter teaspoon of powdered ginger in a cup of hot water for five minutes and drink as needed. I have also heard that anise seeds reduce gas.

Answer 4

There are over-the-counter helps, like "Gas-X" and some other remedies. "Beano" comes to mind. Talk with your doctor or with a pharmacist.

As for your diet, a healthy, balanced diet would be good. Lots of veggies and fruits, some "roughage" like celery and fiber breads. Whole grains. Lean meats. Drink enough water. Leave the junk food alone.

Answer 5

Try beano. Honestly, it works. Nothing is wrong with you. Some people eat certain foods and it gives them gas. Brocolli and onions being some of the biggest gassy foods. We all pass gass and it is normal. Seriously, try looking into the medicine beano at the store. You may be surprised, it helps.

Answer 6

You might be lactose intolerant. Have you tried cutting out yogurt, milk and cheese? Gas is also caused by veggies with sulfur in them, like cauliflower and beans. It is also caused by soda - especially the diet stuff.

You should go to the doctor and see what they say. It isn't normal to have gas all the time.

Answer 7

There is a medication on the market called Gas X -- you might try it. Also, try checking with your doctor. One last thing -- start a daily walking regiment. You might not be processing your food good and walking will help with that.

Answer 8

Flatulence (Gas) Treatment
Experience has shown that the most common ways to reduce the discomfort of gas are changing diet, taking medicines, and reducing the amount of air swallowed.

Self-Care at Home
Flatulence is most often related to diet, and sometimes to those habits that cause you to swallow air. You can begin by trying to remove the problem foods from your diet. For many people, this is a trial-and-error procedure.



This may take some careful observation to notice what foods cause increased gas. Keep a food diary and note excess passage of gas. Any of the gas-producing foods can be removed from your diet one group at a time until you see relief. Sorbitol and fructose are common offenders, so try these first.


If this method does not work, a more restrictive approach is to start with a very limited number of safe foods, and add one new food every 48 hours in order to determine what food or food group causes difficulty. If the offending food is found, then you can avoid eating that food or be prepared for its consequences.


If you suspect lactose intolerance is the problem, remove all dairy foods from your diet for 10-14 days to assess the effect on flatulence (using a diary). The enzyme lactase, which aids with lactose digestion, is available in liquid and tablet form without a prescription (Lactaid, Lactrase, and Dairy Ease are familiar brand names). Adding a few drops of liquid lactase to milk before drinking it or chewing lactase tablets just before eating helps digest foods that contain lactose. Also, lactose-reduced milk and other products are available at many grocery stores (Lactaid and Dairy Ease).


If odor is a concern, there is also some reported success with charcoal filter undergarments.


If belching is a problem, you should avoid the behaviors that cause you to swallow air, such as chewing gum or eating hard candy. Eat slowly. Make sure your dentures fit properly if you wear them.


In general, avoid overeating because this contributes to flatulence as well as obesity. Limit high-fat foods to reduce bloating and discomfort. Your stomach will empty faster, allowing gases to move into the small intestine.

Medical Treatment
The goal of treatment of flatulence is to reduce gas and odor. Medical intervention includes treatment with antibiotics if bacterial overgrowth of the GI tract is suspected or evidence of parasitic infection is seen.



Some promising studies have investigated feeding nonoffensive strains of bacteria to push out the bacteria that are offensive, although no established treatments are available at this time.


Regulation of bowel function is essential. Constipation should be treated with increased dietary fiber or certain laxatives.


In cases where anxiety causes you to swallow air, your doctor may suggest you seek mental health counseling to change habit patterns.

Medications
If you do not desire to avoid the foods that cause gas for you, many nonprescription medicines are available to help reduce symptoms.



Beano is an enzyme supplement that may be useful with bean ingestion. It contains the sugar-digesting enzyme that the body lacks to digest the sugar in beans and many vegetables. Beano has no effect on gas caused by lactose or fiber. You can buy the enzyme over-the-counter. Add 3-10 drops per serving just before eating to break down the gas-producing sugars.


Antacids, such as Mylanta II, Maalox II, and Di-Gel, contain simethicone, a foaming agent that joins gas bubbles in the stomach so that gas is more easily belched away. However, these medicines have no effect on intestinal gas. These can be taken before meals. Dosage varies so read the labels.


Activated charcoal tablets (Charcocaps) may provide relief from gas in the colon. Gas can be reduced if tablets are taken before and after a meal. The usual dose is 2-4 tablets taken just before eating and 1 hour after meals.


Certain prescription medicines may help reduce symptoms, especially if you have a disorder such as irritable bowel syndrome. Some medicines such as metoclopramide (Clopra) have also been shown to decrease gas complaints by increasing gut activity.

Answer 9

go outside (best) fart as much as u can, come back. Be sure not to smell like fart.

That should work. If not see a doctor.

Answer 10

you can not completely stop it, gas builds up from digesting food that you eat......so you will always have some gas....
