excess flatulence

Hi,

I am from India but live in the US now.I have problems of chronic consipation since like 15 yrs now.However I got into more serious troubles while I was in college.However with a good control on my diet and yoga in the past I was in pretty good shape.However 3 yrs back I came to the US and started having stomach problems again.
I took Nexium for a month end of 2004 and suddenly stopped it as I was having constipation and headache.After I stopped it,my stomach has became very sensitive.I pass gas at having any spicy food or peanuts or sweets.So literally I have cut down on lot of foods now.Its also smells so badly sometimes that I have stopped socializing much.I feel very weak,have started having joint pains,anxiety which leads to faster heart beat.Please someone help me.I really want to get rid of this excess flatulence,bloating and IBS symptoms.I eat a vegeterian diet now.I have not been doing any exercise off late but with these problems have terrible mood swings and don't feel well.I really want someone to suggest me some good medicines or dietary habits which will help me get rid of this excessive flatulence.

Thanks,
Jai

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.

Do you mean Lycopodium Clavatum and Carbo Vegetabilis.Do you have the quantity and best time to take these medicines and any diet which I should avoid?Also I have severe bloating and lactose intolerance which I forgot to mention in the last post.

Thanks a lot Dr.Kireet for your suggestions.Looking forward to get this out of my way with your advice.

Also wanted to know if the food here is also a cause.I eat more fresh food,stopped all canned foods etc.

I have had the same problem for years. The ONLY thing that helps me is an extremly low-carb diet. I know it's not healthy but it's the only way I can have a social life. I'm pretty sure I have small bowel bacterial overgrowth which is the bacteria that is supposed to be in your large intestines and moved into the small intestines and/or stomach. These bacteria feed on the carbohydrates you eat thus producing gas. The only way to stop it is to starve them by not giving them the food they survive on (carbos). Try that diet (or the specific carbohydrate diet) and see if that helps. I tried the specific carbohydrate diet but it was still too many carbos for me but it may work for you. Good luck.
