I've been having some issues with gas and it's really starting to worry me. So, I had h pylori and gastritis, and after getting treatment, my flatulence reduced a lot and even the smell got better. But now, a few days after finishing the treatment, I'm back to having a lot of smelly gas. I saw a gastro doctor who prescribed rifagut 550 for 10 days and a probiotic for 5 days, and that helped with the smell somewhat, but I'm still farting a lot, especially in the evenings and at night. It's really affecting my social life. On top of that, I'm going to the bathroom about 12 times a day. I've been taking nexpro L for the past one and a half months as my doctor advised, but it's not helping. What can I do to get rid of this farting problem? Id really appreciate any advice.

I've been having these recurring stomach aches every time I try to go to the toilet, but nothing actually happens, just pain on that side. It's really frustrating because it doesn't seem to improve. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might just clear up on its own? I've been trying to figure out what could be causing it. Any insights?
