Help... Problems with flatulence and gas? Serious answers only, please.? I have a really bad flatulence problem. After meals, I often develop gas in my stomach. This is painful and it really hurts my tummy. As the gas goes lower, it also often hurts my lower back. The gas is either very difficult to pass, causing me stomach pain, or I have no control over it and it passes with a loud noise or a foul odor. Either way, it's bad for me, because I either have terrible stomach pains in the middle of the night because of what I ate at dinner (seriously! Sometimes I have to get up around midnight and walk up and down the house in an attempt to release the gas and relieve my stomach), or I get embarrassed in front of people. I try not to eat too much wind-causing food, and the doctor told me to walk a lot and to take gas pills when I have this problem. He ruled out all major stomach ailments. I'm only 17... what can I do to solve this problem?
