How much gas is too much?

It's definitely worse when I eat "gassy" foods like broccoli, beans, or lots of fruit. I thought it might be from dairy intolerance, but tried limiting my dairy and using the lactaid pills when I ate any of it, and that didn't make a difference. Caffeine and fatty foods are fine for me to eat in the morning, but at night they make the gas worse.
I know that gas can be one symptom of some disorders, but can it ever be the only symptom? I only have abdominal pain from the gas, maybe once a week. It's more annoying than it is painful. I'll get constipation or diarrhea about once every 2 months, sometimes that's just from eating wrong or getting some stomach bug. It's pretty much just the gas.
I'm probably just being paranoid and it's nothing more than me being more sensitive to it than the average person. But once I start reading things I start worrying. You should see me in my psychology classes. =]
Thanks for your help,
