Excessive gas formation is the result of acidity and flatulence. Your diet and lifestyle are largely responsible for this. Surprisingly, you can be healed faster than you would care to believe, if only you put in the effort.
For starters, you will definitely have to alter your diet and lifestyle and practise a regular routine of Yogasanas (postures), Pranayamas (breathing exercises) and Kriyas (cleansing techniques). You will have to practise all the Yogasanas (poses) in the following positions, with emphasis on the italicized ones:

Yogic Diet
For sufferers of excessive gas formation and expulsion, as well as other related digestive disorders, a Yogic diet is a must. This means, if you are non vegetarian, you will have to turn vegetarian, as much as possible and as fast as possible. For best and quickest results, see that your daily fare is Sattvic (light and predominantly vegetarian) with lots of seasonal fruits, daily salads, green leafy vegetables and sprouts. Please avoid all fatty foods, milk products such as yoghurt, butter and cheese and junk / fast foods. These will only exacerbate your acidic and flatulent condition and vastly retard your healing process. On the other hand, should you adhere to a pure and light vegetarian diet, observe a daily routine of early to bed and early to rise, avoid late nights and do your Yoga practices regularly, you are bound to achieve the desired results sooner than later.
