Major amount of flatulence on a daily basis for years - HELP

Hi everyone!

Thanks in advance for listening and your input.

I have had IBS my entire life and I am now 54 years (male). Over the past year I have had SO much flatulence and bloating it is unreal. I fart at least 50 times a day. I stay miserable and need some help.

Does anyone else have this kind of issue and if so what have you done to help.

Thanks so much and have a blessed day!

  1. I used to have this issue. For me personally it ended up being SIBO. I saw a Naturopathic Medical Doctor and he diagnosed me. He put me on supplements and told me to avoid sugar and wheat. I did that for about just over a month and it went away. How is your diet looking? Best, Elizabeth (team member)


    1. Thank you so much for the response. My diet -- I eat everything. Honestly I do think I eat a lot of wheat or sugar. I will be mindful of what you said and watch. What other symptoms did you have with it?


      Also what supplements did he put you on? I want try and get some.


      Thank you so much

      1. I used to suffer from constant bloating at one point and it got a lot better when I cut out gluten completely. If you're eating a lot of wheat, that's definitely worth a try! Also, if you think that you might have SIBO, I would ask your doctor about doing a breath test (https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/getting-tested-for-sibo). This way you'll know for sure. I you'll find some relief soon! Karina (team member)

      2. I also wanted to link this article for you where Elizabeth explains what supplements she takes: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/daily-supplements. All the best, Karina (team member)
