Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Excessive gas can be caused by several factors. A change in lifestyle, such as eating more processed foods, stress, or lack of exercise, can contribute to digestive issues. Additionally, indigestion or a condition like Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) can lead to increased gas production and abdominal distension. It’s important to identify the underlying cause, so I would recommend reviewing your diet and physical activity. If the symptoms persist, a consultation for a thorough evaluation may be necessary. Managing stress and improving digestion through dietary changes or probiotics may help as well.

Thanks
