Answer
dog with gas issues;  Gloria, I am always glad to help!!!

Hi Gloria, How about raising the feeding and water dishes -  Do a raised feeding at almost arm pit level -
YOUR baby will take in less air.
Next, cut down the cottage cheese to just 3 x per week.  Also, don't do green beans every day - how about every other.....

If the gas continues after you have raised the feeding station ----you can do this:
Tagament every evening, before bedtime :  Talk to you vet about this - Many vets will allow you to give some Tagament.  
Also, you can see here for referred dosages - Walker Valley Vet:

BE aware of any treats you give.  Only grain free made by the Wellness or Innova Folks would be good at this point.

Keep me posted.
GLAD your kids are taking the NuVET supplements
