General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Rule out the following causes for Gas:
-excess stress
-eating too fast
-excess intake of junk foods and beverages
-smoking
-celiac disease
-functional bowel problem etcetera

According to the cause, specific treatment should be given. If celiac disease suspected, then anti-tissue transglutaminase can be investigated.

Regular exercise will be beneficial, also include more fiber in the diet. Drink more water and consult a physician or the gastroenterologist for examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
