General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to side effects of chemo.
Chemotherapy may alter the normal bacterial flora that is present in the intestines.
This can affect digestion and cause flatulence (gas).
I suggest you to use simethicone medication to relief this symptom.
You can also take probiotics daily.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
