Flatulence is a common occurrence in daily life, often resulting from the fermentation of undigested food components by the gut microbiota. While flatulence is generally harmless, it can lead to discomfort, bloating, and even chronic conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Certain foods, particularly those rich in dietary fiber like bean...
