Bad intestinal gas

Bad intestinal gas

I am not sure if the topic is correct... I am 29yrs old, female, and I have as of august become a vegetarian.... since then my intestinal gas is very very panful. I've taken Beano, Simethicone 180mg, waited for my food to cool down. Nothing helps :-( I went to the MD today and she prescribed Zantac!!! Heartburn meds... I couldn't believe it! What should I do???!!!  I work in a fast paced operating room and I don't have the time to go to the bathroom sometimes. I just want this to go away. My sister has IBS... is this genetic??

Thanks!
