Flatulence treatment
Avoid vegetables from the cabbage family. Many people also experience flatulence after earing onions and brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and other members of the cabbage plant family; you may be able to reduce gas production by adding such spices as anise, ginger, rosemary, bay leaf, and fennel seeds during cooking, Some cooks add kombu seaweed, available in Asian markets and natural food stores, to cooking water for the same purpose. Increase fiber intake very gradually. Passing gas can be an uncomfortable side effect of a well-intentioned move toward a healthier, high- fiber diet. Nutritionists suggest increasing fiber intake gradually, and they recommend avoiding bran and high-fiber laxatives. In addition, sorbitol, fructose, and other sweeteners can cause flatulence in some people, as can high doses of vitamin C.
