For the past 7 years ive had a problem with producing excessive flatulance. I can tell its not normal because it almost seems like constantly im trying to "hold it back". Im 19 years old now.
Within the past year, ive noticed it got worse whenever i ate dairy products, so i cut them out of my diet and did some research and found that lactose intolerence could be the culprit. However, even without eating any dairy products, its still there, not as bad as before, but still to an uncomfortable point. Ive also cut soda out of my diet, just to be sure.
Its not just excessive flatulance, but also sharp pains in my stomach and sides (randomly uncommon) and overly-softened stool (not quite diarrhea).
Ive tried activated charcoal tablets and taking pepto bismal, but both only helped slightly. I havent tried anything like gas-x, because the description isnt what im in need of.
My question is: what could be the problem? IBS? Another food allergy? Im willing to try anything.
