Flatulence
Am suffering from flatulence for a long time now. Am 36 years old and have been having irritable bowel since childhood.
Off late I am having embarrassing smelly flatulence very frequently no matter what I eat - even if I don't eat.
I have tried maintaining journal and there hasn't been any food that has been the single reason for this and so none eliminated.
Have done portion control and intermittent fasting but it still continues.
Will a food allergy test point out the problem?
