Brief Answer:
Maldigestion

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Increased gas could be due to poor digestion of the food. This may be due to stomach bug or malabsorption syndromes.
Increased amount of fiber in the diet can also cause increased gas.
Some amount of gas is normal. It is said a normal person passes gas 15-20 times per day.
If you find it troublesome, you can take Beano for relief.

I hope that answers your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
