Pills like Gas-X, Phazyme and Beano are probably going to be useless for you since they do nothing for gas trapped in the intestines (which leads to flatulence); they only deal with gas trapped in the stomach.
One other person said above that Charco-Caps work. These or another activated charcoal product will likely help you with trapped, painful gas. Take them as much as the directions on the package allow until your problem calms down. This should definitely work, unless you have a food allergy or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Also take a look at your diet--it is possible to eat TOO much fiber. Try to cut back on the beans, wheat and other whole grains. Drink plenty of water and, of course, exercise is always a great idea for most anything that ails you. If your problem persists, don't hesitate to see your doctor about it. Painful gas can be miserable and you shouldn't have to live with it. Good luck.

tummy gas, take an antacid, Tums or the like
intestianal gas, exercise will make your bowles work faster and you will be able to eliminate sooner. If you can't get out and walk, simply bend over as far as you can from a sitting postion then bend backwards as far as you can. Rocking back and forth like this will also help the intestines move blockages ( and can be done on the toilet too)
Then eveulate your diet to find the food(s) that don't like you. I love Snapple Peach Iced Tea, but sigh* It doesn't like me ( I get heartburn when I drink it)
Pain

i take "Charco-caps", it gets rid of stomach, intestinal, trapped, and just about everyitng else (gas). it works really well. its just 2 pills that have Charcol inside. Charcol absorbs air bubbles (gas). u can get them @ walmart. u may also need to have a bowel movment. and since i have IBS (irratale bowel syndrome) i have very bad gas sometimes, and this will absorb ur gas, unlike Gas-X which will MAKE u get it out, then the WHOLE world will know you've got gas. LOL!! God Blessâ¥

the biggest reason for gas is what you are eating. if you don't change those foods, you will continue to have gas. sometimes it's hard to pinpoint the food that is causing it too! i've tried Gas-X and Beano, unfortunately, they haven't really helped me. Beano's website is helpful with info on gas-producing foods. (Beano.com)

I agree with the poster above that said a dump.
Other home remedies would be honey and peppermint.

Take a dump.....Remember that passing gas is just the lonesome cry of an imprisoned turd....
