Dear Patrick,
The excessive gas with pain and the irregular bowel pattern are suggestive of irritable bowel syndrome although other conditions can cause these symptoms.  As an initial therapy, try increasing the amount of fiber in your diet by a) eating salads daily, b) using whole grain breads and c) adding fiber preparations such as Metamucil.  These lifestyle modifications should regulate your bowel function and improve the gas problems.  If symptoms persist after these chnages, then you should see your doctor to exclude other conditions.
