OK, well I have a really bad wind problem. I am a vegetarian and my main staple foods are things such as pasta, bread, cheese, most vegetables but not really beans or peas. I don't just break wind at certain times, its all the time. I try to hold it in but eventually I just have to let it go. It's really embarassing in public and I don't know how to stop it.
Does anyone know any foodstuffs that may help or anything that I should cut out of my diet. Please only answer if you're sure of your information, and if possible give web references so I can check as I don't want it to get worse.

but to not change your diet, you can eat small meals, more often. thats what nutritionists say you should do anyway. but It would be more beneficial in a case like yours. They say that five meals a day is sufficient and better than the whole three square meals thing. But this would help you because when there's a lot of food in your stomach, there's more digesting going on, which emits gasses. and with more food in your system there's less room for the gas, hence, it has to leave. with less food in your stomach, there will be less gasses made, and when there is less gas, it tends to rise and/or absorb.
