Hi and welcome.
Well,appendix and surgery should not be related to your symptoms since appendix has no significant role in digestion process. Your symptoms are more indicative of irritable colon syndrome or food allergy and these are self limiting conditions in most cases.
In most cases our dietary choices could lead to these symptoms Some foods that increase gas include: Beans, cabbage, broccoli, raisins, lentils, prunes, apples, foods high in fructose or sorbitol, such as fruit juices.
These foods can take a long time to digest.
it may also be due to a medical condition if symptoms don't improve in these measures.
Potential conditions underlying flatulence range from temporary conditions to digestive problems such as inflammatory bowel diseases, gastroenteritis , diabetes or peptic ulcer.
As remedies you should: Look at your diet. If it contains a large amount of carbohydrates that are difficult to digest, try to replace them.
Carbohydrates that are easier to digest, such as potatoes, rice, and bananas, are good substitutes. Also try to eat around five to six small meals a day instead of three larger ones to help your digestive process.
if there is blood in stool or weight loss then colonoscopy should be done to rule out some more serious issues.
Wishing you good health.
