Hi I'll,
I get a lot of gas also and know what you mean. I suggest anti-gas tablets. I've heard many people say they use beano. Try it I think it will make a difference for you. ...mtnman.

You may look up on line what foods cause a lot of gas and advoid them. especially in the late evening. Also as Mtnman suggested try some beano. Good luck and stay safe

Hey,
i'm thinking this may be food related as well. Many beverages caused that as well. I do not drink any carbonated beverages ever. I know there are several foods that cause me problems and I try to stay away from those foods at all times. Do you use a pouch that has a filter? I know that the filters don't work once they get wet. I know when my pouch fills with gas it will shortly flatten again once the gas has time to seep through the filter. Filters aren't all that great but they do work on a new pouch for about two days if you're lucky. But like mountain man said, there are many Anti-gas tablets that you can take as well. Beano? Gas-X, etc.
