Gas after surgery

Obviously this one, though short, is a bit on the "TMI" side. Fair warning.
It's been 2 weeks since my cesarean and I am experiencing some major gas. I expected it those first few days, and it was hard to pass but was encouraged to do so by my doctor (in fact, did you know that after surgery you are required to fart before you can get solid foods?). It was hard mainly due to the pain of the incision but also because the constipation.
But now it's 2 weeks later, I'm having perfectly normal bm (at least one a day, which is actually more than I used to do) and am still having gas problems. They don't smell, most of the time, but they do get quite loud. So let me just apology for that sound, yes: it is me.
