1. Vomiturition is caused by swallowed air from:

• Eating or drinking too fast
• Poorly fitting dentures; not chewing food             completely
• Carbonated beverages
• Chewing gum or sucking on hard candies
• Excessive swallowing due to nervous tension or postnasal drip
• Forced belching to relieve abdominal discomfort

2. To prevent excessive Vomiturition, avoid:

• Carbonated beverages
• Chewing gum
• Hard candies 
• Simethicone may be helpful

3. Abdominal Bulging and discomfort may be due to intestinal sensitivity or symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. To relieve symptoms, avoid:

• Broccoli
• Baked beans
• Cabbage
• Carbonated drinks
• Cauliflower
• Chewing gum
• Hard candy

4. Abdominal distention resulting from weak abdominal    muscles:

• Is better in the morning
• Gets worse as the day progresses
• Is relieved by lying down

5. To prevent Abdominal distention:

• Tighten abdominal muscles by pulling in your stomach several times during the day
• Do sit-up exercises if possible
• Wear an abdominal support garment if exercise is too difficult

6. Flatus is gas created through bacterial action in the bowel and passed rectally. Keep in      mind that:

• 10-18 passages per day are normal
• Primary gases are harmless and odorless
• Noticeable smells are trace gases related to food intake

7. Foods that are likely to form gas include:

• Milk, dairy products, and medications that contain lactose--If your body doesn't produce the enzyme (lactase) to break it down.
• Certain vegetables--baked beans, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage
• Certain starches--wheat, oats, corn, potatoes. Rice is a good substitute.

8. If flatulence is a concern, see your doctor to determine if you are lactose intolerant.

9. Identify offending foods. Reduce or eliminate these gas-forming foods from your   diet.

10. Activated Charcoal may provide some benefit.
