Trapped gas

My main problem is gas. It's like I'm pregnant and the "baby" is moving constantly, especially a little while after I eat. I'm so tired of taking Gas-X, Beano, etc. I started the Acacia powder, but I feel that it made the gas worse. I gradually went up to 1 1/2 tablespoons a day, but decided to taper back down again. My first can is almost gone and I've pretty much decided to not get anymore. Why won't the gas come out? Why does it just roll around in there? I can lay on the floor on my stomach for a bit and that helps, but good grief, I can't do that 3 times a day for 30 minutes or more!

I've tried peppermint with no help. I've tried fennel tea and others, but drinking hot tea when I'm full of gas just makes me feel even fuller. I'm just at a loss and miserable.
