A doctor has provided 1 answer

GI disorder: Antibiotics can alter the intestinal bacteria ("flora") and cause digestive abnormalities, causing your "gas symptoms". If you have stopped taking antibiotics, obtain some over-the-counter (non-prescription) "probiotics" (consult your pharmacist for his/her recommendation). This will help you return to normal.
