Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Pressure in rectum, ruling in abdomen, lots of gases in presence of normal blood and stool indicate IBS that is irritable bowel syndrome and you are already taking Omeprazole for the last three years for heartburn.
I would advise you the following:
Upper GI endoscopy.
Colonoscopy.
CT scan of the abdomen.
If these are normal then get treated as a case of IBS.
If any disease is found during investigations, get a specific treatment and you will be fine.
