Mr., explain the reason for deodenum ulcer in another way is not related to Pylori bactaria— Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.30.0.221 (talkcontribs) 17:56, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Are you looking for information about duodenal ulcer, Helicobacter pylori, or peptic ulcer? - Nunh-huh 00:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I believe the definition at the top of the page should read: An antiflatulent agent is a drug or an herb used for the alleviation[...] Thanks, 188.80.46.115 (talk) 08:30, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Margarida SilvaReply

This article indicates that garlic is an anti-flatulent. The article on flatulence indicates that garlic causes gas. Which one is true? 207.219.3.222 (talk) 16:16, 11 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Merger proposal edit

Per a suggestion from user Peace and Passion, there is very little difference between an antiflatulent and a carminative, such that they are often used as interchangeable. Peace and Passion didn't indicate a preference as to a destination article, but I'd suggest this one (antiflatulent) more plainly describes the topic and thus is the better choice. Consider this a co-nomination. --BDD (talk) 15:52, 13 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Given the lack of interest in the proposal, and an oblique comment at WikiProject Alternative Medicine, I don't think I'm going to proceed here. There does seem to be a difference between the topics, and I'm unsure of how to best express them in one article. --BDD (talk) 17:06, 5 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
Suggest both articles should be stub definitions, not longer than they are currently, and should be more extensively discussed on Flatulence#Management

Spices reducing flatulence edit

The article states that spices such as cumin and ajowan "do not inhibit gas production, in fact they exacerbate it significantly". If that is the case, why is ajowan used in dishes containing chickpea flour (besan)? Besan is difficult to digest because of the presence of dietary fibre. Why should a spice that supposedly exacerbates gas production be used with a flour that is not easy to digest? How does that make sense? Also the linked Wikipedia article for ajowan actually states that it is used for the TREATMENT of bloating, indigestion, flatulence. So which is correct? How can the same spice exacerbate gas production, yet be used for treating flatulence? 120.61.16.192 (talk) 16:16, 16 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
