          I also have this.  I can't belive the gas my body produces.  I think I have found something that helps some (but not all the way).  I got proactive yogurt (probiotic) and I eat one with each meal.  My theory is that either the treatment or antibiotices that I've had killed off the bugs in my digestive system.  Sometimes, when I do the probiotic yogurts, I have about 75% less gas.  It is anecdotal, but I keep using it.  Last night was really bad and I realized I hadn't had the probiotic for 3 days.  I had one and it slowly went away.  Had another one this morning.  You may want to try it.
