Gassy and abdo discomfort

I have, for a few weeks, been suffering from a lot more built up gas than normal which causes a bit of abdominal discomfort. TMI but farting like a trooper! I’m waking up at night with trapped wind. I’ve taken Fibogel and seem to be toileting normally but still gassy! I’m not normally like this. No change in diet. I am eating more fibre, if anything. I was a bit constipated when this started but not now. I’m 53 and post menopausal.

Should I be concerned? Mum died of bowel cancer but she was 83 and a smoker. I’ve never smoked.

No other abdo pain - just when there’s a build up of wind!!!
