Hello,
Since you know that certain foods are causing gases, you know the cause and hence avoiding such foods is the mainstay of treatment. You have to make a list of the foods and beverages that cause the problems and make another list of the foods and beverages that suit you the best. Also, go for tests of stool and blood and if an infection is found a course of an antibiotic can help to solve the problems. Once this is done your appetite will automatically improve.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
