Hi
There are multiple reasons for generation of gas .
Many parasites and Bacteria will cause the problem.
The following things you should consider in going for Diagnosis.
1. You should go for complete stool examination for ova,cysts etc
2. You should also consider the Culture and sensitivity of the stool.
Since you are on Norfloxtz complete its course.
You should review your Dietary habits.
increase the intake of Water and fibre.
take care all the best.
