Donna,
I have not posted on the rather unpleasant subject of flatulence. Being a true gentleman, I typically refrain from discussions of such topics in polite company.
As my input has been requested, however, I submit that several factors are at play. First, somewhere between 75-90% of clusterheads are male. While flatulence is certainly not a gender-specific medical condition, the discussion of same tends to have a male-oriented bias. Second, as we all know, most males have a high incidence of flatulence-inducing food product ingestion.
This may contribute to what appears to be a relationship between clusters and flatulence.
Then again, maybe it's the verapamil.
KTSSU,
