Thanks for your question and welcome!

I'm sorry you are dealing with this uncomfortable and embarrassing condition.

Unfortunately, a stool sample or blood test may not be what is needed to understand why a person has excessive gas. An endoscopy may be necessary to get a good idea of what's going on and you will probably be medicated to avoid pain.

We have a great page on excess gas with lots of helpful information. Please take a look at it and then answer some questions :

How often do you think you pass gas everyday?
How long has this been going on?
I understand your reluctance to have a procedure like an endoscopy done but do you think you are refusing this due to fear - or embarrassment?

I look forward to hearing more from you!

Thank you for answering.

Sometimes I pass gas 15 times sometimes only i have pain & stomach sound which cause embarrassment
so i cannot deal with friends. i apologize when they invite me their home or to party.
Even at work when i have a meeting time.
I have this since 11 months
I refuse to do endoscopy because already i did before 7 years & i have nothing, as doctor said this is
Irritable bowel syndrome.
as i read constipation cause gas, however i try to solve this problem by eating papaya, grape & drink plenty of water.
it's work but not that much.
Thank you

I know everyone produces gas, that is not my problem.
My problem is passing gas in the wrong place, or i feel pain in my stomach + cramps specially on kidney sides ( feel like something moving & difficult to pass the gas )
