What causes flatulence building up in liver area?
Patient: I am male, nearly 53, have had fatty liver for ten yrs or so, i drink regularly but not excessively, mostly wines, and eat healthily, salads, cereals, fruits, fish, very low meat and fats. Exercise at least 4ties a week, mostly swimming, live in warm climate. Have flatulence that feels like it is building up in liver area. What should I do? Doctor: Hi,For flatulence you can take a proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole. Try to walk daily for 30 minutes. Eat less fibres in diet, as fibres in diet increase flatulence. A normal diet should contain no more then 30 gram of fibres per day.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Ramesh Kumar
