Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
Greetings of the day
Dear Mr XXXXXXX

The likely cause for excessive gas could be

1. Intake of food which undergoes lot of fermentation leading to excessive gas production
2. Decreased intake of water
3. Decreased intake of fiber
4. Decreased physical activity


I would suggest you the following
1 Simethicone based antacid will be helpful
2. Ensure water intake of 2 to 3 liter a day
3. High fiber diet


Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.


Take care
