Reply to "A Little Frustrated / Helpless Feeling"

Further to my current condition...  This is one of the main issues I am dealing with these days.  I just ate a big lunch.  About 90 minutes later I started feeling a desperate need to have a bowel movement.  I went to the restroom and instead of having a large pastey bowel movement, it was extremely loud and gassy, messy but a limited amount of output.  In better days, it would be a larger BM and nowhere near the amount of gas and noise to go with it. 

I assume this is the result of inflammation in my pouch or rectal cuff etc...  I suppose my small bowel could also be inflamed, but apparently my last scope didn't show that. 

Anyway, bottom line is that instead of being able to "empty" my pouch and feel better, I have been suffering from excessive amounts of really loud gassy bowel movements.  This seems to be a continuous thing tnhat hasn't subsided in a few weeks now.  It's not an enjoyable thing to deal with day after day...

Can anyone relate?  Can anyone suggest (a) what's wrong with me and (b) any options that haven't been discussed yet?
