Suggest Treatment For Flatulence

I suffer from severe stomach wind, stomach pain and a feeling of unwellness most days but particularly at night. I am a 52 year old woman of average health and I have a pretty good diet overall but have failed in narrowing down which food it is that makes it worse. However, I do try to stay away from bread, pasta and dried fruits, I don't drink very much alcohol and only moderately drink tea or coffee in the mornings. Some evenings the acute wind and stomach pain is so bad that it stops me from sleeping. I take 'Gas' over-the-counter drugs and this does ease the wind somewhat, however, the wind has on occassion caused me to expell some clear liquid from my rear end which causes me worry and embarassement. Could it be IBS?
Thank you for your advice

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from excess intestinal gas formation that is leading to excess formation of intestinal gas as well as there can be abdominal discomfort, bloating and pain..

As it is a chronic cause you need to consult a Gastroenterologist and get a thorough evaluation done and he can advise you investigations like Endoscopy, blood tests, stool culture etc to confirm the diagnosis and treatment of the cause can resolve the problem..
