Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain uncontrollable gas or flatulence occurs when there is over production of gases in the intestines..
Small amount of gas formation is a normal phenomenon but if it goes beyond normal limits it starts to get discharged from the mouth in the form of burps or anus in the form of farts or flatulence..

It can occur due to number of causes like:
-Gastroenteritis,Eating too fast that can entrap excess of air,Lactose intolerance, excess intake of dairy,Diseases like Crohn's Disease,Bacterial or H.Pylori infection, Constipation,Frequent chewing of chewing gums and sucking candies,Excess intake of dairy etc..

As it is a chronic cause you need to consult a Gastroenterologist and get a thorough evaluation done and he can advise you investigations like Endoscopy, blood tests, stool culture etc to confirm the diagnosis and treatment of the cause can resolve the problem..

-As you are doing regular workouts it is a good practice..
-You should also take walk after meals..
-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..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
