GI: I would suggest you be seen by a gastroenterologist (GI)- a stomach and intestine specialist who may be able to scope you and make sure everything is ok in your intestines and maybe shed some light as to why you are having so much gas. Could rule some things out in order to rule some things in like Irritable Bowel Syndrome which causes a lot of gas. Get checked and best wishes to you.
