Hello,
Probably due to antibiotic course your normal intestinal flora replaced by abnormal bacteria which may lead to excessive gas production. Other possibilities like food allergies or irritable bowel syndrome etcetera.
Avoid spicy food and alcohol. Avoid smoking. Use tablet simethicone twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
