What causes excessive Flatulence? (Yes TMI)

Ok, this is a bit of a sore subject with me as of late, and I cannot decide if I should go see the physician or not. I am sick and tired of taking phazyme to combat bloating due to gas. I seem to be a veritable gas factory, and it tends to build in the early morning, and during lunch. Right after I eat, I blow-up like a balloon it seams. And frankly it is getting old. I understand that some foods can cause gas, but this is ridiculous. Could I have an excess build of certain bateria in my system that could be causing this? A certain enzyme perhaps that makes me a human whoopi cushion? Are there foods I should be eating that combat the excess gas build up?

Here’s a fair bit of information on the subject.

BTW, it wouldn’t allow me to cut and paste but several of your questions are answered in the sections Why are beans so notorious for making people fart? and What things other than diet can make a person fart more than usual?
