excessive gas

I have excessive gas at times and would like to know if there is something I can take that would help.  I have had Crohn's disease for over 30 yrs and am in remission.  This problem is embarrassing and affects my social life and makes me very uncomfortable and stressful.  Can you help?  Thanks

Some natural methods to help you with the gas problem.
Press the point below the centre point of the palm of both your  hands 40 times with the thumb and press the tips of all fingers 40 times each.

To help with the gas problem: mandukasan(not for pregnant women) - kneel down(with feet pointing inwards,and sit on the ankles/heels, Vajrasan position), breathe in and breathe out completely and hold your breath, pull the stomach in, press both your  hands on stomach, bend forward as much as possible keeping the head straight, hold for 5 to 15 seconds and come back up while breathing in.Do this asan 3 times daily before meals. Mandukasan2 - Repeat the whole process(mandukasan) 3 times,but this time with with fists of both hands pressing against the stomach(by the navel).Mandukasan can be done sitting on a chair, if you cannot bend the legs.This asan should be done before meals.

After meals, sit in vajrasan position for 5 to 10 minutes and take deep breaths into the lungs(chest) to get extra oxygen into the digestive system.
