I too, am troubled with both of these problems...although more so with the excessive gas. I can't seem to figure out what the cause is, though. At first, I thought I was lactose intolerant. So I tried taking Lactaid enzymes before consuming any dairy products...but it doesn't help at all with the gas/bloating. So now I'm not sure what to try next. Very frustrating and embarrassing problem to deal with. Hopefully, somebody out there has an answer for us.
