Alternative medicine would look for and treat the CAUSE of your gas. Here are a few examples of common problems that can cause excessive gas (flatulence):
1) Gallbladder disorders
2) Hypochlorhydria (too little stomach acid)
3) Pancreatic insufficiency
4) Lactose intolerance and other food intolerances (e.g. fructose)
5) Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
6) Celiac Disease
7) Intestinal Dysbiosis
Best wishes and good luck.
Ayurveda:
A mixture of one teaspoon of grated fresh ginger pulp and one teaspoon of lime juice, taken immediately after eating, can prevent excess gas and lower abdominal pain, says Vasant Lad., B.A.M.S., M.A.Sc., director of the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New mexico.
Food Therapy:
Kombo, a sea vegetable that's available in most Asian grocery stores and most health food stores, can help neutralize foods that usually triggerflatulencee, says Allan Magaziner, D.O., a nutrition medicine specialist an head of the Magaziner Medical Center in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
"Let's say you're broiling broccoli, a food that can cause flatulence in many people. Simply put a little strip of kombu in the pot while you're cooking. It helps neutralize the gas from the broccoli, so you avoid the flatulence afterward."
