Accepted Answer

Flatulence: Bowel gas (flatus) is a product of bacteria digesting our food. In order to minimize the amount of gas produced, it is wise to eat bland foods such as raw fruits and vegetables. Include basic grains and plenty of water to stay hydrated. Eating too much fiber or processed foods may increase your gas, making you uncomfortable. You might also try over the counter simethicone products.

Question 9

can aspartame cause excessive flatulence?

Accepted Answer

No: Aspartame is just a protein. It doesn't cause flatulence, although if you eat high carbohydrate foods and too much food, you can develop gas. You can also swallow air if you eat rapidly. Since you're already on omeprazole, you must have had some GI problems already in your past.

are there any natural treatments  for excessive flatulence?

Accepted Answer

Eliminate cause: Flatulence is excess gas  produced in the digestive track due to usually something eaten that does not agree with you.  Beans, cabbage and onions are common causes but so is gluten and dairy. I usually have people do an elimination diet of what they think is the offending agent and see what happens.  Add probiotics twice daily in the beginning, smaller servings, eat more frequent.  Beano helps too.
