To aleviate symtoms medicine containing simethicone ( phazyme, gasx, generic simethicone) will help reduce gas builldup as well as simple antacids.

Depends: Depends whether this has been a life long issue which is usually a food allergy or intolerance. If this is a relatively new thing, a trip to the gastroenterologist might be advisable. Sometimes new onset bloating necessitates a colonoscopy to rule out colon pathology.
