I wouldn't be too concerned about gas alone, especially if you are not seeing true vomiting or diarrhea. While drinking the bath water is not ideal and I wouldn't encourage the behavior it is unlikely to cause much harm. If Lou does start vomiting or his soft stool progresses to diarrhea you should contact your vet to see what they would recommend.
