too much gas formation in stomach - #20510
I am really frustrated with this issue I've been dealing with for a while now. Like, for the past couple of months, I have had too much gas formation in my stomach. It's so uncomfortable and honestly kind of embarrassing! Sometimes, I can feel it building up after eating, and I can't even enjoy my meals. I've tried to pinpoint if it's specific foods, but honestly, it feels like just about anything I eat triggers it! I mean, even my favorite meals like pasta or rice, which usually were no big deal. One time, I was at a friend's party, and I just couldn't hold back the gas—a bit mortifying, to say the least… I’ve also been feeling a bit bloated along with the too much gas formation in stomach happening! I'm not sure if this is normal or a sign of something more serious. Doctors I've seen say "it’s just gas," but do I really need to put up with too much gas formation in stomach like this? I read that things like lactose intolerance or certain fiber types can cause this but can’t say what’s setting it off for me. Should I consider some kind of diet change or eat differently or maybe try some over-the-counter meds? I’m open to advice; just want to figure this out already and feel normal again!
