About once a month I get sharp pains in my stomach and I fill up with gas. I am unable to burb and it doesn't go out the other end when this happens either! So I just end up looking pregnant for a few hours. This really hurts and I have no idea what could be causing this. I eat healthy (no pop, junk food, never eat out, avoid sugar) What should I be avoiding? I coffee bad? What about pastas or breads? I really want to figure out how to control this. Anyone who suffers this too please let me know how you control this or stop it from happening.

For a lot of people, eating fibres, and lots of fibres too, helps a lot.
But you may need to contact a doctor to find out what's really happening to you. Distension doesn't sound good. Your doctor needs to rule out any mechanical obstruction; maybe you are having Subacute Intestinal Obstruction. This could worsen with time if left on its own.
Or this could be like one of those unexplanable, stomach (abdominal) pains and discomforts which go into the category of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). But mind you, IBS is only diagnosed when every other disease has been ruled out.

'About once a month' has this anything to do with your period, like PMS? If it ties in then try taking evening primrose oil, this essential oil assists with the hormones.
