I had ibs with excessive gas that causes discomfort ,how we can treat excessive gas formation in first place besides drugs for relief discomfort like peppermint oil or mebevrine that only reduce discomfort but not treat the problem of excessive gas ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you are producing excessive amounts of gas, it is sometimes possible to pinpoint particular foods that are the culprits. It may take a visit with a nutritionist who deals specifically with IBS. Contact your gastroenterologist for a referral, if appropriate. Good luck.
