High Fiber Diets: Gas is a sign of colon health. It is a sign of good high fiber diets. This is not a medical condition.

Gas prevention: Have you tried taking simethicone 1/2 hour after meals before the gas builds up? Drinking hottish water tends to break down gas bubbles. Man's digestion system was not designed to deal well with large amounts of fiber unlike a cows system.
