Flatus maximus...: You are suffering from bacterial fermentation of poorly digestible foods. Insoluble fiber and sugars (disaccharides, oligosaccharides) and sugar alcohols found in foods are impossible for humans to completely digest and reaches the colon where the colonic bacteria consume it and give off gas in the process. This gas contributes to abdominal distension and excessive flatus. Check out ibsfree.Net.
