Does gabapentin cause flatulence?

I have also noticed that my stool is floating which means I am not absorbing weight. When your stool floats it means it has a lot of fat in it. It means your body is not absorbing the fat. After all of my surgeries and pain medications that caused me to go from 183lbs and muscular at 5'5" to a WHOPPING 117lbs, now back up to 142lbs(and gaining), is not something I can afford right now. Just the gas in my stomach and intestinal tract rumbles/growls so loud and long as it moves around is heard by those near me causing them to think I am passing gas. I have to tell them it is just my stomach growling and that I'm hungry so they don't know I'm full of gas and think I'm nasty. I don't think it's the cutest thing in the world because passing gas like that with that volume of gas coming out is blowing fecal bacteria all through the air which is pretty nasty. You take one drug to help one thing, and in return causes numerous problems and possibly irreversible, and/or irreparable problems in other areas that you then need to take another medication(Gas-Ex) to help counteract those side effects of the medication you're taking to help. I simply cannot describe the volume of gas in one passing and the frequency in which I am passing it. I don't know why that gas or flatulence is not listed on the side effects as I know four people besides myself that are taking this medication and all report moderate to severe flatulence! The gas is so frequent, and in such volume that I now have my first hemorrhoid from pushing it out and did not lift anything heavy or strain pushing my stool out. I had a normal morning bowel movement and that afternoon I noticed a pain or burning around my exit. I thought it was just stomach acid or something that had burned my exit doorbut found out from taking a photo of my own back door that it was a massive and I do mean massive hemorrhoid. It may sound funny but I can promise you it is not. I'm not one to have anything touching or rubbing on my exit which I am now fumbling around with four or five times a day cleaning my trap door and rubbing preparation h on myself. Yes I am using a q-tip to do it but it is disgusting and will now probably have to see a doctor and possibly a surgeon for medical attention. This medication also causes major problems with brain synapses and other issues which I advise checking into before taking this medication. Brain synapses is the reforming or regrowth of nerve endings in your brain which this medication can destroy and not allow your nerve endings to regenerate themselves in your brain. Think long and hard before taking any medication!

It might be of interest that psychiatrists could not even pay their professional dues and were going broke until PRESTO big Pharma gave them SSRI meds with inadequate research. Psychiatrists used to actually TALK to their patients. Now, they are prescribers and just keep you on SSRI meds for YEARS so they don't have to deal with the horrors of their patients detoxing from them. They will actually tell you that there is no detox from them. It is horrible and some of the side effects are permanent. I made the mistake of going to one of these so called doctors for anxiety. That is all, just a bit of anxiety. For that, I was put into a chemical lobotomy by a psychiatrist and have never been able to sleep for years now. Do your research before you drag yourself or a loved one to one of these dangerous people.
