Could be SIBO...or SIFO. It can cause the gas and bloating, not sure about the pain after BM though.
If you suffer from constipation or diarrhea could be IBS....
Wish you health and wellness.

Could be both. I have had IBS for years. More recently very painful gas and bloating. I ordered a breathalyzer test and came out positive for SIBO methane. Am going to be taking xifaxin and neomycin for that.
In the past just taking bentyl and citracel helped with the IBS. However that doesn't do it anymore. Also I have had both constipation and diarrhea, mostly lately constipation.
