Could be: Some people pass more flatus. This may be related to a carbohydrate intolerance. Suggest restricting your carbohydrate intake to see if this helps.

See you GI doctor: You could have lactose intolerance, small intestinal bacterial overgrowh, or even celiac disease. See GI doctor for a complete evaluation and tests. Avoid foods producing gas.
