How Can Abdominal Bloating Caused By Hiatus Hernia Be Managed?

Hello. I am a 41 year old female. Overweight but active. I have lower back pain which seems to ease when I pass gas. I eat a lot of vegetables with my lunch, and fruit and granola for breakfast everyday. (I basically eat 2 main meals per day and snack on peanuts or fruit in between meals.) I cook my own meals. I was earlier this year diagnosed with a hiatus hernia which was apparently causing the bloating I was getting, so my doctor told me to ease off dairy products. I also have a large uterine fibroid. Any suggestions on how to deal with the gas buildup would be helpful at this point.
