N2 - Meteorism is a dominating problem in the western world, especially in women. The condition is very difficult to quantify, and effective and documented therapies are not avaiable. We wanted to develop a method for measuring anaerobic production of hydrogen and methane in faeces, and to correlate the results with patients symptoms. We wanted to investigate, if a change in the flora in the colon would have an effect on gas production and symptoms.
