Question: Will lifestyle change prevent flatulence?
Answer: Omit certain foods from your diet(see food faq) for a short time until the problem resolves. It may be that you need to think about eliminating certain foods altogether, or at least some of them longer term.

Do make sure that you still have a healthy diet, you may need to consult a dietician, doctor or other health care professional to give you advice. Basically, cutting out excessive sugar, lactose, fructose, sorbitol, may be the answer.
