Well, it is always a bit of trial and error to find food(s) that suit the individual best - there's no food yet invented that suits every single dog.

Still, there are more and less common culprits for digestive upsets (and gas is a sign of maldigestion - it is not necessarily something unavoidable). Difficult to digest grains like corn usually cause more problems than relatively easy ones like rice or millet (insomuch as a grain can ever be said to be "easy" for dogs to digest). Likewise, foods higher in meat content and lower in grains generally are helpful.
