Likely IBS: Excess gas is due to the interaction of your gut flora(bacteria) and the food you eat. Should try a low carb diet and take probiotics.

Digestion and Gas: General details about malabsorption: When someone cannot digest a nutrient, bacteria in the gut digest it instead, producing gas. Examples: some sugars (eg: lactose in dairy), sugar-alcohols ( "no sugar added!" sweeteners sorbitol/maltitol/xylitol), fat (happens w Alli & when people w celiac disease eat wheat/barley/rye). Treatment:Avoidance.Other reasons exist, and are covered by the other Docs
