Sertraline and wind!

I've been taking Sertraline for 10 weeks and experiencing a huge amount of wind - and sadly I'm not talking about burping but the less socially acceptable type! I have a bowel disorder which complicates things but the wind has been much worse since starting the Sertraline. I am always careful to avoid "windy" foods.
Has anyone else found this and if so have they any remedies?

I haven't heard of excessive wind , but diarrhoea and nausea .
It can't suit you - please ask your GP to prescribe an alternative .
And keep a food diary .
