Brief Answer:
Any changes in your diet?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I will like to know if anything has changed in your diets? Have you been eating much fruits or many different types of meals at at launch? This may cause excessive fermentation and gas production that causes this.

I will go first with changes to the diet and if this persist, then I may recommend activated charcoal to help with the gas problem.

Keep me posted on how this evolves.

Thank you. Will go to soups for lunch, perhaps. Usually whole grain bread with turkey and cheese, sometimes ham and cheese. Did have a lot of cabbage recently, but that is finished. (Might that have created problem?) Don't usually have beans, however. Will make some changes and let you know what happens.
