Food needs to be masticated slowly and completely in the mouth. If it is swallowed rapidly, chewing is inefficient and incomplete. The overworked stomach and intestine now have to complete the job. Large undigested particles eventually reach the large intestine. Friendly, non-parasitic, commensal bacteria living there have a field day, ingesting, fermenting, digesting and thriving on this food. During this process, they release a mixture of nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen. These gases are actually odourless. The characteristic unpleasant smell of wind is imparted by gases such as methane, skatole, indole, and hydrogen sulphide which are present in small quantities....

Gas is a decomposition product. Some of the foods you eat (like beans) produce gas when they decompose. If you want to stop it the best method is to change your diet.
Another alternative is to use the Beano product. This can reduce some of the gas.
