If proctitis is accompanied by excessive flatulence, it could be due to the consumption of foods that produce gas or it may be because the inflammation of the rectum leads to poor digestion, which causes increased flatulence. In such cases, oral medications that regulate the intestinal flora should be taken to treat it, along with the use of mesalazine or sulfasalazine preparations for anti-inflammatory treatment. At the same time, attention should also be paid to diet, avoiding gas-producing foods like sweet potatoes, and avoiding spicy and stimulative foods. It is important to eat easily digestible, bland foods.
