A member asked:
My mom has lots of gases for years would this condition cause harm in long term?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: It obviously has not caused anything more than an environmental issue for years so it is unlikely to cause any additional problems in the future.

Not likely: It is a common symptom and can be related to the type of food you eat, or due to lactose intolerance, swallowd air while eating food.But no harm will come long term due to lot of gases.
