Gastroenterologist: Your symptoms can be caused by irritable bowel syndrome, lactose or gluten intolerance or sensitivity. A gastroenterologist would be helpful with diagnosis and treatment as well as dietary advice. Taking simethicone after meals can reduce gas buildup. Stress management therapy may also be worthwhile.
