A member asked:

What is the cause of flatulence in people with ulcers and how can it be treated?

Dr. Tony Ho answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Air: Flatulence in all people is caused by gas, either from "swallowing air" or from production inside the gut. The ulcer should not affect gas production; excessive gas can be treated with dietary changes as well as otc meds like simethicone.
