What Causes Severe Constipation And Flatulence While On Cymbalta?

I have recently been having constant very smelly gas. New meds include Cymbalta ( flatulance seems to have begun around start of this drug,not sure though) , Lyrica and taking Ex lax when constipated. I am frequently constipated due to pain meds. I am ALSO A 15 YEAR type 2 diabetic with nerve pain and uncontrolled sugar levels. I do not want to stop cymbalta but will if it causes this embarrassing condition.
