Can you control expelling gas?

Bloating: Eat fewer carbs and gluten. Less lactose. Beano sometimes works. Almost all of the other otc products do nothing.

Not really: Not really. If the amount of gas is excessive and there are other abdominal symptoms then the issue should be evaluated by a doctor.
