Beano seems to work a little for me. I am thinking of trying gas-x
You may have issues with gut bacteria. Read this about SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).
"When bacteria digest food in the intestine, they produce gas. The gas can accumulate in the abdomen giving rise to abdominal bloating or distension. Distension can cause abdominal pain. The increased amounts of gas are passed as flatus (flatulence or farts). The bacteria also probably convert food into substances that are irritating or toxic to the cells of the inner lining of the small intestine and colon. These irritating substances produce diarrhea (by causing secretion of water into the intestine). There is some evidence that the production of one gas by the bacteria-methane-causes constipation.
Bacteria in the small intestine, when present in large numbers, can compete with the human host for the food that is eaten. This can lead to malnutrition with vitamin and mineral deficiencies. In advanced cases of SIBO, the bacteria use up enough food that there are insufficient calories for the host, thereby leading to weight loss. "

I havent read this whole thread but gas is caused almost exclusively from carbohydrates. It is almost impossible - in the abscence of an allergy , for fats or proteins to cause gas. Gas occurs when foods are unable to be properly digested and they reach the lower intestine in an undigested or partially digested state. The solution is prob as simple as switching your carb sources or locating a dairy allergy and addressing it. I think its prudent to do this anyway as your body is clearly giving you signs of distress ...find what foods your body assimilates best.
things as simple as chewing food enough can have an effect also
