- Gas formation is normal for most intestinal malfunctions. But some diseases shows multiple symptoms, and some of these symptoms signifies the presence of multiple disorders. For example, gastro-intestinal cancer shows its signs only when it turns severe. In this case the initial sympoms normally gets ignored considering gas formation due to indigestion.

- Faulty bowel movement also causes gas trouble. Erosive and non erosive gastro-esophageal reflex disease, hiatus hernia, gastritis, duodenitis and gastric ulcer causes gas formation and is the most visible symptom in these cases.
- Gas trouble sometimes evolve from gall bladder or pancreas. These glands have effective participation in the digestion process. Chronic cholesystitis and chronic pancreatitis are the diseases which normally infect these glands. Along with these diseases stone formations are normally found in these glands.
- Indigestion is also a reason. When things like annagen which is difficult to digest, increases out of proportion in the intestines, causes gas trouble. When blocks appear in the small and large intestines this symptom is shown in the initial stages. Apart from all these causes gas trouble can be caused due to the defect in other organs of the body. Defect in heart, lungs, kidney, lever and endocrine glands also create such symptoms.
