Over the past 2 years I have been suffering with extreme gas.When I stand up or sit down it feels like my butt is burning. I went to the doctors and the said I may be lactose tolerant but I'm not and I've used antigas and antacid but it doesn't work. The only time it stops is when I lay down. What is it? Is there a cure?

Hello,

If you are possibly lactose "intolerant" your bowel is unable to digest foods with "lactose" in it. This frequently cause the development of gas.

If you were to stop eating foods with lactose, does the gas that you have go away? Have you tried to remove lactose from your diet?

When you say that your "butt burns" do you mean that your anus burns when you pass stool or gas? Do you have diarrhea?
