If flatulence is a major problem, a look at your diet is important. There are foods that inherently produce gas when consumed. You must take care to avoid such foods.

These include foods such as beans, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, yeast-containing foods such as breads and cheese.
Carbonated drinks produce gas too.
High carbohydrate content in oats and potatoes make them the culprits for gas.

Foods that produce negligible amounts of gas are rice, bananas, citrus, grapes, hard cheese, meat, eggs, peanut butter, non-carbonated beverages and yogurt made with live bacteria.


Eat smaller meals
Eating smaller meals is a good idea rather than consuming a large meal at a time.

Avoid meals containing a large amount of monounsaturated and essential fats.

Chewing the food slowly and steadily is important. Avoid swallowing or gulping down food. Properly masticated food is better digested.

Regular exercise such as walks keeps the intestinal muscles in ship shape. Regular bowel movements keep the levels of gas producing bacteria low resulting in less flatulence.
