I have excess gas every day?

I am a little worried about my health as I am experiencing excess gas every day. After eating my meal my stomach blows up with gas and now its been quite a week or two. I keep checking my stool it has been floating since.

This is usually from digestive problems, i.e., malabsorption. This could be serious or mild. You should definitely see a local gastroenterologist to assure you that there are no serious issues going on.
Get some Gas-X or equivalent, avoid anything carbonated, stay away from beans and nuts. This is almost never anything serious, but I know it’s uncomfortable.
Most excess gas and bloating is the result of carbohydrate malabsorption. Following a low FODMAP diet (or other low carb diet) should help.
