Your body is talking to you. Listen and take detailed notes. I would log every thing your eat/drink and how much you are bloating. If certain food seems to bloat stop it and see bloating gone. If gone stop that food.

I think ultra sounds you mention and the proposed tests are bit much for just being flatulent. Flatulence depends on the kinds of foods you eat and your personal gut bacteria. So best is to try seeing what foods do it and things like OTYC Gasex. Tests like colonoscopy should be done only if indicated by a Gastro/ ent. for they are not innocuous and are expensive
