Excessive wind?

I have had polyps removed, and have to have 10 more removed, one more difficult than others as it is under a fold in the rectum. I have excessive wind and do not know what to do.

Polyps are not the cause of wind. Go see your Gi specialist.
This should be discussed with your GI endoscopist
Excessive flatulence is usually from constipation, cruciferous vegetables (brussels sprouts, broccoli), beans, and lactose intolerance. Certain food intolerances may also contribute to this, and elimination protocol done with your gastroenterologist should help.
