Excessive gas
Hi,
I get excessive flatulence everyday especially during evenings and night for some years. It has no odor but is loud. Stomach will rumble sometimes. Complete blood work is normal and faecal calprotectin is negative. Stool consistency will either be loose or constipated. And undigested food like seeds or leafy vegetables is seen sometimes. No deficiencies . Able to sleep well and no fatigue or weight loss.
Is any other invasive test needed? Also, could you please give any suggestions such as probiotics for excessive gas? Thank you
