WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY TUMMY?? BAD GAS FOR 2 1/2 WEEKS!!

This may be a bit long. Sorry! I started taking prenatal vitamins before my surgery. About a week after taking them I started having gas pains and going to the BathRoom EVERY 5-10 min. (NO KIDDING) My PCM doc said stop taking the vitamins, (may be too much iron right now) I went to the gastro doc. to see what was going on before surgery. They scoped me and they saw nothing. I started going to the BR like I had before (regularly) about 3 weeks after I stopped taking the vitamins. I had my surgery and my surgeon has his patients take prenatals after surgery. So, I started those 2 weeks out. I started getting sick to my stomach cause I couldnt eat solids yet so I called and they (my surgeon) put me back on Flinstones TILL I was able to eat solid food. So, I started solids and started prenatals. About a week later, I started having those sharp pains and "poopin spells" again. I then realized it was the prenatals. IT HAS TO BE!! I stopped the prenatals and started back on the Flinstones. I called my surgeon, they said that was fine. My problem is, Im still having the BAD GAS PAINS AND POOPS!! I went to the gastro doc. he gave me some meds for the gas pains but it doesnt help. I know its not what I eat cause its EVERYDAY~ALL DAY!! I have another apt. with gastro next week. I cant take this anymore. MY ??? IS... HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS AND HOW LONG DID IT LAST? WHAT DID YOU DO ABOUT IT??? Thanks so much in advance.
