Flatulence and lactose intolerance
We have many customers using our Flat-D Flatulence Deodorizer pads because of the gas that comes with their lactose intolerance. The inventor of the Flat-D is lactose intolerant. So he invented the Flatulence Deodorizer. Here is a nice all around article on the subject.
In reality, the prevalence of lactose intolerance in the U.S. is difficult to assess accurately. Still, it is likely much lower than suggested based upon self-report, according to the National Institutes of Health [1]. In part, this is because individuals have a tendency to misinterpret any gastrointestinal upset following a dairy-containing meal as evidence of lactose intolerance [2]. Most people, however — even those with lower-than-normal lactase levels — do not report gastrointestinal upset after being exposed to lactose in a blind challenge, explains the NIH.
Lactose intolerance results from insufficient production of the enzyme lactase (LCT), which the small intestine uses to help break down lactose, or milk sugar. Lactose is a disaccharide, meaning it’s made up of two smaller sugar units called monosaccharides. The small intestine can absorb monosaccharides, but disaccharides (and larger combinations of monosaccharides, called polysaccharides) have to be digested into their monosaccharide building blocks before they can be absorbed. The digestive tract uses a wide variety of enzymes to accomplish this task. Digestive enzymes are very specific in their function; the enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose, for instance, can’t digest sucrose (table sugar). Sucrase, the enzyme that breaks down sucrose, is similarly incapable of digesting lactose. As such, a person must produce lactase in order to digest lactose.
In those individuals with true lactose intolerance, the absence of appropriate quantities of lactase means that lactose passes undigested into the large intestine. There, native flora (naturally-occurring bacterial species) of the gut break down the lactose to provide for their own energy needs. This results in the accumulation of a large amount of gas, which is a waste product of bacterial lactose digestion. The gas leads to the sensations of bloating and cramping, and can result in flatulence. Undigested lactose in the large intestine can also cause diarrhea.
Most people make lactase in appropriate amounts early in life; without lactase, babies would be incapable of digesting breast milk (which is actually higher in lactose than cow’s milk). Some ethnic groups produce less lactase after the age of weaning, leading to lactose intolerance that begins in childhood. This lactose intolerance persists throughout adulthood, and is most common in individuals of African, Hispanic (non-European), Native American, and Asian descent. Europeans are much less likely to develop lactose intolerance post-babyhood. Further, there’s some evidence to suggest that lactose intolerance increases with advancing age [3], though there isn’t a significant body of data supporting this.

Dr Donohue mentions Flat-D again
Dr Donohue mentions Flat-D.com as a nice solution for smelly intestinal gas. Here is the article.
Dear Dr. Donohue: I am in my 80s and have a problem. I had a car accident three years ago. Since then, I pass gas most of the time, and I can't hold it in. I am very embarrassed to go out of the house.
Please tell me what causes it, or what I can do to prevent it.
Dear Anon.: Flatulence, the passage of rectal gas, occurs 10-20 times a day for almost everyone. Some of that gas comes from swallowed air.
Eat food slowly to lessen the chances of getting air into the digestive tract. Most of the gas is due to the fermentation of foods by bacteria in the colon. A few illnesses are associated with excessive flatulence — celiac disease and pancreatic insufficiency being two examples.
The pancreas supplies enzymes to digest food. Without those enzymes, bacteria digest the food. I can't implicate the car accident as a cause.
Make a few adjustments to your diet. I'll name foods that are the most troublesome. Don't eliminate all of them at once.
Pick two or three, and keep them out of your diet for two weeks. If you don't note a reduction in gas by two weeks, start eating those foods again and eliminate three others. Milk products, including cheeses and ice cream, fruits and carbonated beverages are three foodstuffs to eliminate in trial one. After two weeks, if there's no whiff of change, go back to eating those foods, and stop eating beans, peas and pastas. If a third trial is necessary, get rid of cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. Brussels sprouts and lentils are other gas producers. If you note that you are gassy after particular foods, then erase them from your diet.
Have you tried Gas-X, Phazyme or Beano? Do so.
If all this comes to naught, other options are available. Flat-D Innovations Inc. makes a pad that is inserted into the underwear to absorb gas. The toll-free number is (866) 354-0056 and their website is www.flat-d.com.

McAvoy broke wind in front of Jolie
Once again if these stars would wear a Flatulence Deodorizer by www.flat-d.com they would not have all these disgusting stories about their lack of control of flatulence.
Scottish actor James Mcavoy was forced to apologise to his Wanted co-star Angelina Jolie after he suffered a bad bout of flatulence on-set.
The Atonement star bulked up for his role in the 2008 action film by eating a lot of meat and drinking protein shakes, but the diet had an unpleasant side effect and he was left red-faced after breaking wind in front of the glamorous actress.
He tells TV host Graham Norton, "There was a lot of eating too much meat and drinking too much protein shake... They (producers) leave you on set shooting a scene in a car for three days... Which is fine... but eventually you have to get this protein shake out of you and it always comes out as flatulence.
"So you're in this car for three days, and for a large portion of these three days, Angelina Jolie is in the car with you. And eventually after a day and a half or so, you have to turn to her and go, 'Listen, I'm sorry, it's not my fault that you just got into this car or that my protein shake just said hello. I'm really, really sorry. How are Brad and the kids by the way?'...
"She was great about it, she's got a good sense of humour and a terrible sense of smell."

Military flatulence
How can we tell the military of our product? We are a GSA approved company. Hope they contact us to supply Flat-D to all the military.
The Military Times “Battle Rattle” blog reports that some Marines in Afghanistan have been ordered not to audibly pass gas because it’s especially offensive to Afghan culture. It’s all part of the strategy to win their hearts, minds and, well, noses.

Healthy diet makes you flatulent?
Healthy foods can cause smelly gas. Use a Flatulence Deodorizer pad by Flat-d.com to remove the embarrassing odor. Keep eating well.
Some foods have the potential to produce more gas than others. Certain carbohydrates in foods can’t be digested in the small intestine and therefore ferment in the colon. Beans (kidney beans, black beans, chickpeas and so on) contain large amounts of a gas-producing carbohydrate called raffinose. So do certain vegetables such as asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, cauliflower and cabbage.
Foods that contain high amounts of the natural sugar fructose also have the potential to produce gas in some people. Onions, artichokes, bell peppers, cucumbers, iceberg lettuce, apples, green grapes, pears, raisins and watermelon are examples of foods high in fructose.
The other culprit that’s likely contributing to your gas problem is the increase in soluble fibre you are now consuming by switching to a healthier diet. Soluble fibre is found in oats, oat bran, psyllium-enriched cereals and legumes (beans again) and is broken down in the large intestine where it produces gas.
