Question
my father is 48 years old and is having a major gas problem. We had gone through every possible test but there was nothing identified could you please help us regarding this problem

Answer
Hi Sam,
Some people have more bacteria in the intestine which cause fermentative reactions, and hence there are some ways of handling this.
1. Change the bacterial flora. Use lactobacillus containing products, both medicnal as well dietary.
2. Reduce gas producing foods, like beans and peas.
3. Surfactants drug like MPS
Along with this use digestive enzymes like Unienzyme.
Let me know if these work.
