help,please with flatuence, and no jokes thanx

[gredosman59]

this is driving me nuts, plus driving girlfriends away. i�ve had terrible flatuence for many years. i�ve tried many so called remedies without sucess. advice please

[sara3]

it's not something I suffer with (before anyone starts on me!) but general knowledge says this..

might you have an intolerance to something you're eating? are you "gulping" air down while you're eating? are you a stressy "gulper"? do you eat lots of high-fibre foods?

otherwise I'd heard that charcoal based remedies were good.. but can not confirm that!

best of luck :o)

fewer baked beans - or other changes of diet?

i dont eat baked beans, and eat quite slowly. tried charcoal tablets, useless, but did like the charcoal biscuits, but cant buy em any more

Do the carol vorderman detox. No joke. You can get the book. It will remove all difficult foods from your system for a while. Then you can see if you feel better. Then introduce the foods one by one and see what causes the problem.

thanx
