Suggest Treatment For Excessive Flatulence In A Child

My child has always had a larger abdomon. She has been seen by her doctor for the flu recently, and also for stomach pain. She has had an X-ray and ultra sound revealing excess gas in the abdomon. Tonight I noticed that her tummy is protruding more than normal. Should I be concerned over this?
