Many causes: If your mother is hyper-flatulent, there could be many causes, from gall bladder disease to gluten intolerance to lactose intolerance, among others. She needs to speak to her doctor, and if no help is forthcoming, a consult with a gastroenterologist (medical GI specialist) would be in order. A dietary consult may also be beneficial. Good luck.

See GI Splt: Such a long history of GI problem points to a chronic illness. That would include irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance and other food allergy, gall bladder disease, acid reflux being the common causes. She needs to see a gastroenterologist and the treatment should not be that difficult., .
