How diabetics are combating flatulance? As I know most of anti diabetic drugs and leafy veg, which is under diabetics diet, aids flatulance.

I am diabetic (65) for 13 years and taking lantus insulin and diamicron tablets. Recently I am experiencing acute discomfort due to bloating and flatulance. Shall appreciate if any of my fellow diabetics having similar problems could suggest remedies, if known.

[Sivagnaname]

You had better walk in the morning with empty stomach at least for half an hour daily. Avoid spicy food totally. You will get rid of your flatulance soon within a month.

I am diabetic since 17 yrs. facing same problem. As per my experience, avoid high protine, starch like Maida diet in the evening. Take raw onion as it is fiberous. Do not take heay meal, except that consume low intake four times. Do not habituate any medicine / alternative medicine, only if it is acute. You can use ENO like soda-by-carb some times.

Dr. Sivagnaname advice very rightly. In addition of that consume warm water in the early morning as you can. Best luck.

What works for me is the simple "Vajrasan" post every meal, for 4-5 minutes. Please learn it from any yoga master. It's really easy and may take a few days of practice to get it right.

Flatulence is due to fermentation of undigested carbohydrate in your diet by microbes present in our body. Normally, a person emits gas on an average 17 times a day. If it is more than this please worry; otherwise it is normal. secondly to reduce the level of flatulence one should mince food well in mouth. By this you may avoid excess flatulence.

try to use aerofit, 10 minutes per day.best of luck.

Causative factors.

(1) Improper digestion and fermentation thereof.

(2) Bowel movement sluggish and not excreted fully. This results in gas formation & frequent emissions.

Remedial measures.

(1) Carbs should be digested. Please don't sleep after food. Have regular morning & evening walks. Reduce carbs and increase intake of leafy/green vegetables.

(2) Ensure bowels are evacuated fully. Design your own method. Spoon full of Divya Gashar churna (Pathanjali) in hot water in the mornings help. Also, Triphala churna/tablet can be tried.

Flatulence can be controlled and cured with the help of PRANAYAM.प्राणायाम

Whatever may be the reason,

kapaalbhaati कपालभाती plays an important roll in digestion.

however all forms of pranayam are equally important.

Regular practice of pranayam helps in the elimination of waste materials from the body, which is normally carried out by digestive, respiratory and urinary systems and of course through skin.

Dear Pradeep,

I have observed that it(Vajrasan) works for a few days and then the flatulence comes back again. I have asked the yoga gurus and the reply was that you continue this.

[pradeeptmtr in reply to SATASHA]

My belief is that nothing in Yog is short term. Just keep practicing and the results will come sooner than u think. My guru recommends kapaal bhati while sitting in vajrasan

[SATASHA]

It is true that no shorttime is there for yoga. It has to be made a way of life but I have mentioned about my experience. Kapalbhatti with vajrasan is good.

[healerkaka in reply to SATASHA]

SATASHA is absolutely right
