Excessing Flatulence

I have had this in the past but it went away but it is back again, I have had A LOT of flatulence issues which has been happening for about two weeks so far, also a lot of pressure in the abdominal region which a lot of times I am trying to hold back the pressure to release the gas, which if I don't make it to the bathroom the smell does get into my clothes and is does have a very strong odor.  When I do go to the bathroom for a BM it is either just a lot of gas that comes out but if there is stool it usually is very small "rabit pellet types of stool?"  I went to a gastrologist when this first started to happen but could not find anything really wrong and he also he also preformed a colonoscopy procedure on me looking for polyps but the results came back normal.  This issue for me is becoming not only extremely annoying but also VERY embarrassing as well.  I tried various gas pills such as Beano, Gas-X and also charcoal pills but again nothing seems to help? I am so frustrated right now about this, I don't go out that much with my friends anymore because I don't want to have any accidents in public and have become very depressed so if ANYONE has any ideas I would be eternally grateful and will take any advice to try to resolve this?  Thank You.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  I would recommend that you try eliminating 100% of all lactose from your diet for at least 2 weeks to see if that helps.  If not, let me know and we can discuss other things this could be.
