  • Flatulence

  • For relief from flatulence, certain supplements may be helpful. Here are a couple of options:

    1. Probiotics: Probiotics, which often contain strains like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, have been shown to potentially reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which includes flatulence. Different strains may affect symptoms such as abdominal pain and bloating, with studies indicating that multi-strain probiotic products may be more effective12.

    2. Peppermint Oil: This is known for its antispasmodic properties, which can help relieve stomach cramps, bloating, and flatulence. It helps by relaxing the muscles of the bowel wall3. Typically, peppermint oil comes in capsule form and is best taken about an hour before meals4.

    These supplements may offer some relief, but it's important to consider individual tolerance and consult with a healthcare provider, especially if symptoms persist.
