That's kind of a lot.
My fiber gets close to 50 grams some days
That's a lot too

Try some yoga poses. The gentle twisting and stretching might help move the gas along.1

The less food we eat the less there is for the bowels to work over. The whole system can slow down. Besides the advice suggested above, make sure you are getting enough oil/fats in your diet (grease things along). Bulking up with popcorn can help too.0

Maybe you've got food sensitivities, or something not working right in your body. I had bad gas pains and bloating, and it turns out I had acute pancreatitis. Try several small meals throughout the day and give your doctor a visit. Good luck!1

I eat a good amount of soy, and take Beano with meals. That helps quite a bit. However ... When my gall bladder was going out on me, I thought it was food poisoning. When I had an inguinal hernia, I thought I was developing lactose intolerance or sensitivity to soy. First thing I'd do is check with your doctor to make sure there isn't something else going on. Sometimes symptoms represent something other than the obvious.

May be a good idea to see your doctor! However I had a lot of trouble with this when I first went vegan as I was eating way more fibre than I had been before I went vegan, since I was eating more beans and stuff that I didn't eat very often before. I got "complete digestive enzymes" from the health food store, they're cheap and seem to do the trick for me when I have stomach pains/gas after eating.0

Ouch.
For your immediate relief you might try some beano or pepto. Stop the pain is first priority. Then try to identify what exactly is causing the problem. Try stopping individual aspects, maybe cut down on your fiber. And perhaps more fats could help. Olives and nuts are wonderful.0 -

All likely to cause bad gas.
Do you have a problem with vegans?
Only when they fart at the gym

There's a vegan version of beano, can't remember what it's called though. Still baffles me why they would put animal products in something most likely to be wanted by people trying not to eat animals.
That's kind of a stretch, to say that people who eat beans and broccoli are probably trying not to eat animals.1 -
Laying on my stomach, relieves the pressure & thus makes my house smell awful!0

Yoga pose downward dog usually does the trick. Gas bubbles to the highest point!2

Update: I put a couple drops of peppermint oil on a teabag before brewing the tea, and the pain basically disappeared within a few minutes of drinking it. I think I figured out why it only recently started. I used to eat lots of peppermint candies and I stopped because they were lots of sugar and calories. I will keep drinking tea with peppermint in it and I think that should solve the issue.4

Gas is fairly universal, I don't think beano is any more likely to be used by vegans than not0 -

Thank you for this post! I need to buy some peppermint tea/oil.0 -
more fiber more water1

Oh yeah. I forgot to say in my info about the low fodmap diet that you need to make sure you are getting enough soluble fiber. Soluble fiber is much easier on our GI tract and feeds good bacteria. Insoluble fiber is harder on our GI tracts. So, try to choose fruits and veggies that have a higher soluble to insoluble fiber ratio. And cooking the veggies helps a ton to make them more digestible and bioavailable! Also eating fermented foods if you can tolerate them. Such as good quality kefir and raw sauerkraut. Fermented veggies like sauerkraut are also easier to digest than just raw cabbage.0
