Here's what helped me with my gas: I used maximum strength Gas-X at first, but probably the
most important thing was that I modified my diet just a bit, referencing this website -

You can cut through all the preliminary readings if you want, and just scroll down to the "Foods That Contribute to Gas Production" section. At first, the list might look somewhat restrictive, but there are really a lot of simple substitutions you can make. For example, instead of peas or broccoli, have carrots or green beans. Instead of potatoes or pasta, have rice or rice noodles. Instead of bananas or apples, have strawberries or grapes. Have yogurt instead of ice cream. Try to cut back on breads and cereals, and when you do eat them, try to eat corn or rice based products (at least temporarily, as an experiment to see if they help).
Lean meat, fish, poultry and eggs should be fine, as long as they aren't heavily fried.
Notice that lettuce and tomatoes are
not on the gas-producing list, so simple salads are fine, as long as they don't contain cabbage or other high-gas items.
One of the biggest things you can do to help yourself is to cut way back on carbonated beverages. You'll probably notice a very quick drop in gas production. I had a HUGE change when I started drinking water and juices instead of cokes and club soda (which was a real change of habit for me!)
Even if you don't eat completely according to the recommendations, you can at least make a few of the subsitutions throughout the day, which will lower your overall gas production.
Best wishes, and please let us know if diet changes helped your situation.
I wish I could sell some of this gas
