Flatulence (intestinal gas) odor control for those who care! by Frank Morosky

Possible solutions- medicine or natural cures

Doctors may tell people to eat fewer foods that cause gas. However, for some people this may mean cutting out healthy foods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and milk products.

Doctors may also suggest limiting high-fat foods to reduce bloating and discomfort. This helps the stomach empty faster, allowing gases to move into the small intestine.

Unfortunately, there are few marketed products available to manage the problem. One herbal-tablet product, called: "Bean-O", claims to reduce gas when sprinkled on foods such as beans, but it proved only marginally effective in testing. Drugs are usually a last resort because of expense and side-effects, but even this option, available with drugs such as GAS-X, is only minimally effective. There are no drugs for daily use to eliminate the odor in gas such as occurs in normally healthy people.

Natural things we can do to minimize gas is to eat slowly, chew thoroughly, sip rather than gulp liquids, minimize fizzy beverages and, not chew gum.

Newest High Tech Solutions

The latest and most ingenious solution for those malodorous gas makers is the use of activated charcoal technology. Activated Charcoal Cloth (ACC) is produced in a flexible textile form. This material absorbs odors more effectively, per unit area, than any other known agent can absorb.

Flat-D Innovations has tackled the odors of flatulence with the help of this technology. They manufacture a Flatulence Deodorizer (Flat-D) reusable flatulence deodorizing pad that is placed in the underwear, next to the buttocks. When gas is expelled through the ACC pad it effectively absorbs the odor associated with the gas. This is the most simple, cost-effective, non-drug solution for the worst odor the body makes. This material is lightweight, extremely thin (1/16th of an inch), washable and reusable. For many, the Flat-D will end embarrassment because you will not have the tell- tale odors around you.
