Hi.
You are right in suspecting this problem as appendicitis.
This may be in a retro-cecal position meaning behind the cecum, a part of the large bowel giving rise to backache more than the abdominal pain.
The best investigations is CT scan to get a proper diagnosis and if present , get it operated.
The gas problem may be due to this only.
