Thanks for your query
Gas may be due to several reasons which include not chewing your food properly ,enzyme deficiencies , reduced acid secretion in the stomach .
not eating adequate fibre in diet and also eating certain type of foods and intolerance to certain foods like lactose.
to reduce your heart burn
cut down caffeine . do not skip meals , avoid smoking, Alcohol and carbonated drinks ,do not sleep within 3 hours of your dinner , reduce spicy and oily food.
When you eat or drink fast, you can swallow a lot of air, which can cause gas.So slow down when you eat.
keep a food diary and noting when you feel gassy. “If you find you’re gassy after eating a certain food, eliminate it from your diet and see if it helps,
It is better to have a endoscopy after consultation with a Gastroenterologist and with guidance from a dietitian you can streamline your diet.
