Not uncommon: As we age, we are more likely to have gas partly from our slowing gut motility. Certain foods (cabbage, broccoli etc) tends to induce gas from fermentation in the guts. Another potential cause is acid reflux which causes people to subconsciously swallow more saliva to neutralize the acid with the air coming along with it. Consider seeing a GI doctor.
