Brief Answer: certain medications can help Detailed Answer: HI, thanks for using healthcare magic Certain foods are more likely to cause excess gas production or bloating. Examples are: (1) greasy foods (2)certain vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, beans, brussel sprouts, cauliflower (3)carbonated drinks (4)spicy foods Avoidance of these foods would help. In terms of medication, the medications used for reflux are also used in persons with problems of bloating and gas. Examples of these medications are prevacid, prilosec, nexium, protonix These medications take 3 to 5 days, in some persons, before they have an effect. Some of these are available over the counter. i hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
