I have done some research and have seen many bodybuilders suggesting to have as many as 8 eggs for meal plans. I struggle with this not because of cholesterol but gas. It produces a discharge which is probably healthy but I would rather have an alternative. What are some alternatives? I am training for my first physique competition which is several months away.

Literally any other source of protein and fat.
Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.

Uh... how about... instead of 8 eggs... you have... less than 8...
Like 7... or 5... or... none if you don’t like the taste..."When I die, I hope it's early in the morning so I don't have to go to work that day for no reason"

I've faced a similar issue because I've got a pretty weak stomach. For me the trick was to remove the yolks and just have the whites. It's not as great as far as protein is concerned but it at least takes out a lot of the heavier gas producing elements of the dish.
Sorry ahead of time for the much less tasty version of eggs. I just replace the yolk with a spoonful of home made manga or pineapple salsa.

An alternative to eggs is any food you like that fits your macros.
Personally I'd go for chicken, fish and low fat diary as protein sources on a cut and get my fats from nuts and some olive oil.
