Many causes: There are many causes of gas and bloating. You may be becoming intolerant of lactose in milk.High sugar diet or sugar substitutes like sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol cause gas.Excessive swallowing of air. Sudden increase in dietary fiber (your body adjusts after a few days). Try fasting then adding back foods one at a time to figure out if a food may be the problem. Alpha-galactosidase (beano).

Bloating: Most of the time, bloatedness is related to certain food. Fiber, fruits, beans, high carbohydrates/dairy products would cause bloating. Avoid these products or just consume in moderation and titrate to tolerance. Use process of elimination to see if you can find the cause. If you are using artificial sugar, suggest to stop.
