Windsettlers are very good, they do a chewable tablet and a capsule variety - I find the capsules better. Hope this helps.

It is not uncommon for people to suffer from wind, sometimes on a scale that clears the room quickly.

Actimel and bio yoghurts can sometimes help.

Sometimes more air is swallowed because of the way we eat, the oxygen is then absorbed from water inside the body, and that leaves more nitrogen left in the digestive system. Sometimes trial and error for changes of diet might help.

Good info.

Are your stools pale and orangey colored?

How often do you have diarrhea?
