Yes, check your diet

Start a dietary journal for yourself. Write down everything you eat. You may notice a specific culprit in your diet that is causing her gas.
Does she cry a lot before feeding or do you get to her before she fusses? If she crys a lot, maybe she is swallowing air then that causes the problem? Does she get bottles? Maybe she is getting air when taking a bottle? Does she pop on and off the breast when nursing? Could you have an over-active letdown? (Does milk practically shoot across the room when you let down? Does she cough and sputter when your milk lets down?)

Just a couple. 1, she's a baby and babies do that. Never keep any of ours in the room with us long because we can't sleep with all the grunting and windiness. 2, check your diet. What you eat is what baby eats, in a round about way. 3, be sure to burp baby well. Laying her across your lap with one hand under her belly or her feet hanging over a leg and her bum elevated a bit, then patting her back and bum lightly will help her pass that gass.
Almost forgot, pick up some Gripe Water. Ask your doctor or check out a pharmacy.

Take a look at what you are eating. If you are eating roughage...like brocclie or burssell sprouts or maybe spice foods...anything that might give you gas will probably give your baby gas. Try cutting these things out of your diet as much as possible.

Anything that you eat that can cause gas in adults may be causing gas for the baby. Try to avoid things like beans, cabbage, onions, etc. Good Luck!

Yeah, my baby had gas and explosive poops for 5 straight months on breastmilk. Smooth sailing ever since she got on enfamil. Every kid is different. Mine slept fussy too on my milk. I had to eat, I did cut out onions and broccolli, but I'm sorry, I had to eat, I wasn't about to eat bread and water. It could be anything you eat. Even a simple spice.

Yes.
Sometimes something in your diet could be the culprit, but more generally speaking breast-fed babies have more "explosive" movements. Is she burping well after each meal?
My first one was breast-fed longer, and I can see the differences. It's fine, because you're doing the best possible thing for her by nursing her as long as you are able to. it's the best thing all around! Good luck.

Depends if you're eating weird or spicy foods. Remember, whatever you eat - that's what goes into milk production. At night, the baby may be fussy if he/she is thirsty. Breastmilk is more like solid food. Sometimes they need extra water.

Yes if you eat something that causes gas, the baby can get it too. Gerber makes gas drops and if he gets too uncomfortable you may want to try it.

When I eat beans, chocolate, lots of caffiene, prunes or milk my baby gets pretty gassy. Try keeping a food journal for a few days, it will help you figure out a pattern of what is affecting your little one.

You can be eating gassy foods. Try to see what you've been eating lately. All beans, peas, legumes and other foods give gas.
