I have tried just about every premium dog food and they all seem to increase his gas (to the point of making it so horrible that I almost pass out!) I have not been able to find a dry food that works well for him. Anyone have a boston and know of a good food? Thanks!
By "premium", I meant high quality, as in foods that are only available through our vet.
Good high quality food should help.
Suggested brands:
* Artemis (Fresh Mix line)
* Blue Buffalo
* California Natural
* Canidae (Usually this is the cheapest)
* Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul
* Eagle Pack Holistic Selects
* EVO
* Fromm
* Innova
* Merrick
* Nature's Variety
* Orijen
* Solid Gold
* Taste of the Wild
* Timberwolf Organics
* Wellness
* ZiwiPeak
Add:
Purina: Limited Allergen is only available through the vet, still garbage dog food.

What do you mean by premium? Most premium dog foods are actually low quality.
Switch to a High Quality Food. I find that Canidae doesn't give my dogs any gas, and they are very healthy.

My bosten terrier also has bad gas, but there is no food we have found that completely stops it,can't stop body happenings.
We use Purina Lamb and Rice and it happens less often(at least that we notice.)

Make sure whatever you feed doesn't have any fillers. Fillers to watch for would be corn, soy, wheat or beet pulp. Also, ditch the food if it has any meat by-products. All those ingredients are pretty much unsuable by the dog and can lead to excess gas.
Here's a great site to research foods:

You should be feeding your dog a raw diet.
All processed dog food is fast food for a dog.
If you ate McDonalds for every meal, year after year, you would fart alot too.
