Suggest Remedy To Cure Flatulence And Frequent Need To Urinate

Hi, For about 6 months now i have been having problems on and off with my stomach and digestion. I can cope with it mostly but the terrible constant bubbling gas that i have no control over is driving me inane. I have changed my diet to included high soluble fibre and i drink alot of water but this makes me fart all the time and need to take a leak very frequently. Although this is not a major problem i find it difficult when working as i need to take breaks all the time and i am worried that i smell. Sometimes i am able to discreetly fart but other times i can stink a room out and is unpleasant for my customers and im ubject to ridiule form my work collegues… I ant plan anything as the stress leading up to he apointment makes matters worse. I have become a paranoid recluse unable to do work or be in other peoples company. I have changed my life and made drastic sacrifices like coffee, tea , alcohol and ciggerettes in the hope it would help but one year later i still suffer. Please if anybody has similar problems or has any suggestions please reply. Thanks
