Hi,
As per you complain it seems that you are suffering from an excess intestinal gas formation that is leading to the excess formation of intestinal gas and as your bowel is not clear it can also be a cause for the discomfort.
It can occur due to the number of causes like:
-Intake of certain foods.
-Eating too fast that can entrap excess of air.
-Lactose intolerance, excess intake of dairy.
-Diseases like Crohn's Disease.
-Bacterial infection in intestines.
-Constipation.
-Frequent chewing of chewing gums and sucking candies.
-Excess intake of dairy etc.
As it is a chronic cause you need to consult a Gastroenterologist and get a thorough evaluation done and he can advise you investigations like Endoscopy, blood tests, stool culture etc to confirm the diagnosis and treatment of the cause can resolve the problem.
-As you are doing regular workouts it is a good practice.
-You should also take walk after meals.
-You should take small portions of food every 2 hours.
-Avoid heavy and large fatty meals.
-You should also limit intake of fizzy drinks, smoking and excess chewing gums.
-You can take Simethicone as it helps in reducing intestinal gas.
-Activated charcoal pills can be helpful.
-Drink sufficient water.
-chew your food slowly and properly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
