HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The symptoms may be in keeping with a urinary tract infection or stones.

In most cases, only some the possible symptoms do occur.
Frequency of urination implies that some aspect of the urinary tract is irritated or inflamed with can occur with a stone or infection.
You would need a urinalysis at your doctor's office. This initial analysis can determine if an infection is present by looking for white blood cells and nitrites, these show up with infections.
If this is the case, then antibiotics would be needed. Copious use of fluids to help flush out the kidneys would also be recommended.
If the urinalysis does not show any evidence of infection and a stone is suspected, your doctor may suggest an ultrasound.
The gassy feeling can be treated with medication such as peptobismol or one of the reflux meds such as pepcid or zantac (even if no reflux present, they help with gas)
