Kitten with terrible gas?

I have a female kitten that is about 8 or nine weeks old. Ever since we got her she has had terrible gas, the sillent but deadly kind. She has only been dewormed once and is an inside cat, eats solid food. Other than this, she seems very normal, energetic and playful. Any ideas?
Answers:
Change their food brand. This worked for me! I was using some offbrand, switched to Purina One. It kinda helped, then I went to the Vet and bought the stuff the sell at the store. Gas is all gone!

The Gas is usually because of something in the food that they don't digest well.
Both of my cats been doing that too. But honey and twinkie are fine. they just do that but if you have concerns call a vet and ask them but i think they'll be ok!
Hmm i really need more details on the kitten please e mail me with more details on the cat i really like cats
I was told by someone at the pet store that green beans are good for the digestive system in cats and dogs. I used to mix a few cooked green beans with the cat's food. He seemed to like them, and it worked well to control any digestive problems.

P.S. Don't feed kittens milk. It's bad for them.
Flatulence is cat is usually caused by too many sugary and starchy carbs in kitty's diet. Try feeding her a high quality dry food with out a lot of fiber and know exactly what is in the food. Unless it is accompanied by diarrhea or throwing up she is probably fine.
try feeding her some moist food until her insides develop more her food isnt digesting completely she may also need to be wormed again
are you giving her treats?, it could be the kind of food
