frequent gas problem - #19018

Kavya

I am really struggling with a frequent gas problem. Like, it's becoming super uncomfortable and kind of embarrassing. It all started about a month ago when I began eating more fiber, thinking it would help me be healthier, but now I'm just always bloated and gassy. It's like every meal results in this awful, painful frequently gas problem, and I can't pinpoint what's causing it. I tried eliminating dairy for a week and that didn't seem to do much. Even my friend mentioned maybe it's too many cruciferous veggies? I've cut back on those but still have this frequent gas problem. I have a day job where I'm around a lot of people, and it’s rough imagining passing gas in such close quarters. Ugh! Today at lunch, I had some quinoa and chicken, and of course, there it was again... the bloating and gas! Why can’t I just eat without feeling like this? Are there tests I should ask my doc about? Like, could it be something serious? I feel like I'm losing track of what foods cause this frequent gas problem. Help!! Anyone have any advice or similar experiences?
