Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Increased gas could be related to:
- foods you have consumed recently
- imbalanced intestinal flora
- eating fast (swallowing too much air)
I suggest to:
- drink more water
- eat often, small portions and slowly
- be more physically active
- take probiotics you can find over the counter
- take simethicone for gas
- avoid gas-forming foods (cauliflower, sprouts, beans, etc.)
If no changes, then, should consult a GI for further evaluations.
Hope it helped! Do not hesitate to contact me again if you have further queries!
