Patients with flatulence should take care to avoid gas-producing foods such as tofu, soya milk, white radish, butter, broad beans, soybeans and milk in their daily life. It is also advisable not to consume large quantities of cola, coffee, strong tea, and drinks containing alcohol. The intake of some high sugar foods such as desserts, glutinous rice and cantaloupe should also be limited. Do not eat mouldy foods and reduce the consumption of smoked, pickled, nitrate- and nitrite-rich foods. It is important to note that in practice, the cause and severity of the disease can vary significantly from patient to patient, and that diet is only one part of the treatment. Therefore, if you are unwell, it is advisable to seek medical advice, so that your doctor can develop an appropriate treatment plan for you and give you sound dietary advice.
