It is very embarrassing. My cousin aged 59 (male) & his wife about 50 are not able to control the farting disorder since a few months. Vegetarians & do not eat junk food or outside. Can this be due to their food intake or any is it indicative of any internal disorder? Whom should they contact or any tests are recommended? Please help..
