Abd gas: Would follow up with doctor and get evaluation for food intolerances,and check for H pylori. Persistent gas is not normal. Consider soy , gluten issues,soak beans for 24 hours before cooking or use bean-o(some have difficulty digesting beans-alpha galactosidase)). Maalox has simethicone as does Gas-X.
