Leaky Gas

Everyday I feel from time to time a little bit of gas slipping out without any control.

Anyone knows why this happens and what to do about it?

I did some tests and taking things (sorry the list is incredibly big so I wont share what)

    I have a very gassy bowel; it doesn't seem connected to any food. It was picked up on an ultrasound but no reason was given for it. I just laugh it off.

    I have no control over bowel gas. if it's there it'll come out, nothing I can do about it. It's been suggested this might mean I might have a weak pelvic floor, but this wasn't by a Dr so I don't know how accurate this is.

      Agree. Try to strengthen the muscles in that "region". Maybe try Kegal exercises? It could be a side effect of SSRIs, if you are taking them.
