About uncontrollable anal gas/wind leakage & flatunece..pls share ur opinion&comment

Hello everyone, it has been about 5 y since I got this smelly gas or wind leaking nonsense disease, I know I am not alone now after reading many posts here, I actually felt relief a bit that I am not the one and only, but I got depressed that no one has found a cure.
As you know its a very complicated problem that no doc knows about it, I have visited tens of docs, but no one has a clue about what I am suffering from or what is going on.
I think becuz there are not many ppl have it and maybe its a combination of many issues & disorders that affect different parts of the digestive system and cause this disease which I will talk about it later
So, since the docs do not know this case even exists I wanna suggest smth maybe will help us to get the right
treatment';
I have heard that there are lots of help groups in the UK that can support and help ppl with TMAU to find the best
way to deal with their problem (TMAU). They also interact a lot with the scientists working to find improved treatments.
So why not we do the same thing(I mean making a group for this new disease under group of doctors in one hospital at one place ) , cauze there are a lot of benefits of it such as;
- doctors will finally understand what we are dealing with and believe us, they can’t deny our problem or just send us to psychiatrists!
- we can share our problems, support each and other become friends, I personally have no friends and I feel
so lonely and heart broken.
-if one of us get over his problem, this, will help the rest to know exactly what is the nodus that cause the smell
or the other symptoms, I mean it will be easier for doctors to diagnose the disease and easier for us to work on the
healing process even if it takes a big effort and long time

we shouldn't live the rest of our lives in this situation, I have read a story about a man who is still having this prob
since he was 20 y o, and now he is 40, he mentioned that he has no wife no kids and never had a girlfriend during his life.
  If you have other suggestions and solutions for how to get over this awkward sickness please share your opinion and reply, at the end we have to do smth about our miserable lives & take action... heartbreak and bemoaning won’t help.  

Life is great, but we need to live it

Hi, understand your predicament. Excessive flatulence can cause a lot of discomfort. If you have been investigated to rule out disorders of the colon, the symptoms can happen with consumption of excess sugars, indigestion and aerophagia. Try to limit voluntarily swallowing excessive air. Check to see if any specific food is aggravating your symptoms and try to avoid the same. In general try to avoid cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and asparagus. Certain medications and food additives too can cause flatulence. Check on these. Also, try to include yogurt in your diet as it is a probiotic which replaces lactobacillus acidophilus (good bacteria) that helps with digestion.

To help with your symptoms, try taking a brisk walk or getting some other form of exercise. Frequent exercise can help keep the intestines working more efficiently and aid with digestion. Also, OTC medications such as simethicone may help with flatulence. Regards.
