Hi..

Iit seems that you are suffering from excess intestinal gas formation that is leading to excess formation of intestinal gas as well as there can be abdominal discomfort, bloating and pain..

It can occur due to number of causes like intake of certain foods, eating too fast that can entrap excess of air, lactose intolerance, excess intake of dairy, diseases like Crohn's Disease, bacterial infection in intestines, constipation, frequent chewing of chewing gums and sucking candies, excess intake of dairy etc..

As of now you should take small portions of food every 2 hours.
-Avoid heavy and large fatty meals..
-You should also limit intake of frizzy drinks, smoking and excess chewing gums..
-You can take Simethicone as it help in reducing intestinal gas..
-Activated charcoal pills can be helpful..
-Drink sufficient water..
-Chew your food slowly and properly..
-Do regular exercise and walk daily.

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