Re: Uncontrollable flatulence

Hi Tony...

I went through something similar and suffered for years but I am 90% better. Here's what worked for me.

1) For the flatulence, I started taking 1 tablet of Colpermin an hour before every major meal. I was introduced to this by a friend who has been a long term sufferer of IBS, on a visit to Singapore. It is sold over the counter and is nothing but peppermint oil capsules.

2) On days when the flatulence is smelly, I use a Glycerin Suppository called Hallens which I came across in India. The smell is evidence that my bowels haven't been completely discharged even though I have been to the washroom. The good thing is that it usually works within minutes. Unlike conventional laxatives, it doesn't give me the runs and ejects whatever is causing the discomfort.

3) I take a probiotic (Yakult) drink every day.

4) There is a 4th product too that I have been using with good effect called the Biodisc but I understand its effects may be purely psychological.

I hope one of these helps. Good luck. Tweet
