Has anyone experienced painful bloating?

At 9 months out, I began experiencing extremely painful bloating and gas. In the beginning, my bowels weren't moving very well. I used a so-called mild laxative for awhile. Since then, I have tried the following: Probiotics (still use every day, helps bowels move) Rolaids complete gas-x charcoal tablets lac-taid maalox mylanta Sometimes it feels like the food is just sitting in my stomach, and not digesting properly. The only way I can relieve the pain is to belch, and sometimes the belches smell like food going bad. I'm now 15 months out from surgery. Still no relief. My bariatric surgeon thinks I'm just eating too much. But this occurs even after just drinking Sugarfree Carnation Instant Breakfast. I am miserable.
