My point is, if your medical condition is causing the gas then reducing gas wouldn't help.

Reducing the symptoms probably help, and there are many conditions which have a reinforcing feedback loop

The same mechanism that reduces the gas may also fix the underlying issue.

If you fix the underlying issue, you should reduce gas.

If you have a mental model as to what is going on and you try X and it works, then you infer that maybe you are on to something, which may be the best metric you have.
