A member asked:

Could colon redundancy be the main cause for over passing gas up to the level of unable to control properly?if it is, can colon surgery be recommended

No: Redundancy in the colon is common. Eat properly to avoid constipation with high fiber foods. Surgery is of no benefit unless treating a colon volvulous (twisting) condition.

Not that i know: Gas is due to many other factors. I would look to other things to explain large amount of gas. Try avoiding the foods, activities that cause the gas accumulation. See your primary to figure out the cause of your symptoms. You may have a food intolerance (lactose? Wheat?) see below http://digestive.Niddk.Nih.Gov/ddiseases/pubs/gas.
