NICE WORK!!!!
Tightening up your game now. If you’re going to drink at work, be smart. Every.single. time.
Assume your breath is always AWFUL.
Gum all the time is suspicious! I feel strongly about that especially now because “they are on to you” I would even stay away from it.
Halls are great for boozie breath, peanut butter, red hot candies, and those listerine strips.
I would even get those little potent peppermint capsules:

May help with pain.
Also ask an MD for dicyclomine, it's antispasmodic. Make you loopy and you'll sleep.
Get a really good probiotic, that'll help get your intestines get back to digesting.
Most of all, be patient with the pain. It REALLY HURTS, but it will pass. Allow yourself to be sick.
I'm so sorry friend, been there s million times.
I have a funny story somewhat related to this. Well, related at least in terms of "eating things that cause massive suffering later."
About five years ago when I was still married, I went through a six-month period of constant stomach pain and bowel upset. My wife bought me a pack of peppermint oil capsules that are supposed to help with your digestion and ease stomach upset.
They're tiny little things and I took five or six of them with dinner. I didn't notice any effect whatsoever. I mean, zero effect. Nada.
The next morning, as I'm sitting on the toilet, I suddenly notice the scent of peppermint, which quickly becomes the very strong scent of peppermint. For an instant I wondered "WTF?" before realizing what I was smelling...and then the burning started.
The burning quickly progressed to extreme anal discomfort which, after about ten seconds, ramped up to atomic ass-rape with a candy cane dildo.
I actually yelped like a kicked dog, jumped off the toilet and straight into the shower in one move, and sprayed cold water on my ass for about twenty minutes. The pain was eye-watering and my ass was sore for about a week. Those damned capsules didn't dissolve until right before they exited and the pure peppermint oil felt like a napalm enema.
(I can't even imagine the aftermath of a ghost pepper.)
Something that had a relatively good response with me was the peppermint pills by Heathers on amazon.

You may be able to buy peppermint capsules instead of going to the clinic. You can get them online for sure (http://www.amazon.com/Heathers-Tummy-Tamers-Peppermint-Capsules/dp/B0002UDK4Q) but I've seen them in many health foods stores and even just some regular pharmacies in the supplement section.
As for the IBS, I'd wait until you see your GP about it, and maybe even a gastroenterologist, until you worry. The doctors at those clinics are just trying to get you in and out as fast as possible, and when there's nothing serious wrong they just want to tell you SOMETHING. Plenty of people have IBS that barely affects their life whatsoever, so IBS is a quick and easy diagnosis to give somebody. Now, lots of people, (like the ones here) are miserable with IBS, so don't scares yourself quite yet with our stories.
I remember for years I'd buy things to overcome GAS, but it kept coming back. Found this and it ended my GAS. I'm quite happy now and don't have to every get comments in public about it.
Here you go.
> Same for amylase, where can I get that?
The easiest (not cheapest) way is probably using Beano capsules. I pressure-cooked some sweet meal animal feed to make a gruel and then added a Beano capsule. Went from thick paste to watery gruel. The enzymes are heat sensitive.
It was an experiment to make a molasses porter, with some large part of the grain bill coming from the feed store.
Homebrew supplies sometimes have them in bulk. Also places that cater to distillers but you're treading a legality line here. I've heard that people who were buying sugar in bulk for a zombie apocalypses being assumed to be making moonshine. Just don't pick up a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line, OK?
Malt syrup from homebrew stores is often labeled "Diastatic", which should mean that the enzymes are still present and could break down other items with the remaining enzymes. This starts going down the rabbit hole of homebrewing beer, and here it's common to use malted grain (with the enzymes from the malting process) to breakdown either roasted malted grain or unmalted grain. Again, too much heat deactivates or breaks down the enzymes.
If you're using a starch and expect to break it down using one process or another, you need to cook it to beyond it's "gelatinous" point first, and then usually lower the heat so it doesn't kill the enzymes, then add your malt, or syrup or enzymes. Heat speeds up the enzymes but too much kills 'em.
The exception to reaching the "gelatinous" point is to buy the stuff that has already been processed. In the "all grain" homebrew beer culture this means instant oats or instant rice off the grocery store shelf, or specialty stuff like processed rolled rye flakes (essentially instant oatmeal made with rye instead of oats)
one more thing, I'll leave it to you to discover how the Sumerian got their enzymes to brew beer with. They used last year's starvation food (food safety net) to brew beer. If your chemistry teacher ever did a demo with a saltine cracker and an iodine test for sugar, it's about the same thing.
This ran kinda long so let me cc: u/CodyDon because he might have some interest.
Alternative to IBGuard- Heather's Tummy Tamers ~ Peppermint Oil Capsules for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Works just as well for me, are more potent, and more for your money.

There are generic versions with names like Beanzyme.
Nausea is my most disruptive symptom :p I take an prescription antiemetic (not odansetron which gave me the worst, most painful constipation of my life when I was on it for a month), but if it's just occasional that this happens you might try dramamine/gavrol; if nothing else it's sometime to try if you can't get to the doctor for an Rx right away.
I started out really disliking ginger, but now I love it, lol. But these The Ginger People tablets are amazingly effective at controlling nausea. They're chewable, but you can just swallow them whole w/ a bit of water and you won't get much ginger flavor (if you do chew them it's like getting punched in the mouth by ginger root, just fyi). I've tried other tablets and capsules, and though they all work to some extent, these one are the best. I do find that taking a peppermint supplement helps, but even taking it on an empty stomach and using an enteric coated variety doesn't always stop it from flaring up my gerd; most days I just deal w/ it.
This has always worked for me.

You're right, it could definitely be temporary! Sucks when health problems are nebulous (welcome to the realm of GI distress).
My non-medical advice would be to eat "clean" real foods and maybe try peppermint capsules
Heather's Tummy Tamers-Peppermint Oil Capsules, 180ct (2 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00149WZMW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_o6StzbRM2SDDS
I'm 6'5", 250lbs, and I've been running or lifting just about every day. I drink most of the 2000 calorie container each day, but I require about 3000-3500 calories for my body size, so I eat a meal and snack on top of that. My BM frequency increased quite a bit after starting Soylent 1.0. I went from once a day to 3, maybe 4 times a day, and now it's settled back down to two on average. I don't think the overall amount is much different though. Probably less, if anything. I've been adding whey protein, PB2, and assorted fruits to make smoothies for about half of my Soylent meals.
As far as the gas goes, I believe they're essentially adding Beano to 1.1, so perhaps you could pick up some to tide you over. My gas issues subsided after the first week, although I'm still above my baseline. Not really much different than when I eat oatmeal though.
I don't think that your eCigs or vaping habits would be responsible. Although, it's possible that munchies could get your bowel moving a bit because you're feeling hungry, even if you're not eating anything due to them.
Drinking Soylent slowly seems to help a lot, but I recommend getting something for the gas if it's not getting better. Perhaps cutting back on your Soylent intake just a bit would make things more tolerable. 1 "real" meal a day seems to be working well for me.
I don't know if this is a real thing, but it accidentally worked for me - I started taking Vitamin E because I read it helped with acne. While it did nothing for my acne, my stomach issues are virtually gone.
I've had IBS since I was a teenager, and managed it mostly with diet but if I ate one wrong thing or got stressed or nervous I would get diarrhea all the time. I can count the number of times I've had diarrhea on one hand in the last few months. It's been great.
I've also read that peppermint oil capsules work well, but I've never tried them so I can't personally vouch for them.
I ended up getting these. Hopefully they work. Only 181mg though, but they have ginger and fennel oils too. Any experience with these additives?

Nah I've got it on prescription so I take pills. I honestly don't know enough about it to provide proper advice, however, I'd probably just buy something like this and take the recommended dose. My prescription pills say you should take them 30 mins to 1 hour before eating, 2 to 3 times a day. Each pill contains 0.2ml peppermint oil. The link above contains the same amount of oil but it also contains ginger and fennel oils which mine do not. Personally I would not take more than one pill at a time.
I've heard charcoal capsules work well too, but I think that's mainly for people who have problems with excess gas. (Which may be better suited to you?)
It's worth doing some research yourself before making a purchase, or even consulting your doctor/pharmacist. I'm really not sure if you should be using them on a long-term basis.
Here's an interesting forum thread about charcoal. It seems that peppermit can inhibit the absorption of iron. (But so do coffee, fiber, and eggs.)
I hope that helps. Please take everything I said with a grain of salt.

[Beano works for me.] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ANL4WDC/ref=sr_ph_1_s_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1487539850&sr=sr-1&keywords=beano)
(Not a shill, just a person who really likes to make turkey chili.)
You also may want to try an elimination diet like Whole 30 to see what triggers the bowel moments/ gas. I have fructose malabsorption and I have to be really careful with fruits that what most people consider "healthy" because it triggers painful diarrhea and gas. (Smoothies are a nightmare for me.) But I can eat foods that balance the fructose with glucose no problem.
Yes, that should work.

Have you looked in the baby section for "Infants' Gas Relief Drops"... something like this with no additives. Double check with your vet.
"Gripe water is a home remedy for colic that used to be made with dill, baking soda, and alcohol." eekk.. I would not use that!

But if you're eating already cooked beans in the can the only thing you can do really get something like beano
http://www.amazon.com/Beano-Dietary-Supplement-Tablets-100-Count/dp/B001G7QRSK
Try the yeast nutrient and energizer combo along with another pack of the same yeast. I don't think it is totally necessary to boil the nutrient or energizer but if you're super paranoid you may want to boil it in just a tiny bit of water before adding it.
Beano is this stuff that is basically for gas relief (i.e. you ate too many beans and can't stop farting). Yes, seriously. Apparently it can dry out a beer due to some sort of enzyme reaction. 1 drop apparently goes a long way. I haven't tried it or anything, just heard of it. I would use this as an absolutely last resort after researching more about it.
I always vomit with my panic attacks so I understand your struggle with it! When I went away for college my stomach would hurt so bad that I couldn't eat and if I did I'd be sick, so I started taking what we call in my house as "peppermint pills." Essentially they're peppermint extract and for me they surprising would calm my stomach enough to eat. This is the brand I've been using. My doctor also gave me a prescription for Ondansetron, 8mg (the 4mg doesn't do much for me), dissoluble pills that work magic most the time. I just take one when needed.

One word: Beano

I just started (since the new year) taking peppermint oil every morning, and I have to admit I think it really helps. I also don't mind burping a little peppermint in the morning lol
 
I only take it once a day, but also take 1-2 imodium a day to be safe, does anyone take peppermint oil more than once a day?
 
Here are the one's I'm taking: http://amzn.com/B0002UDK4Q

Yes, usually it's from the pain of being constipated or I just plain ate something that didn't agree with me. I usually go for the peppermint capsules or Digestzen
Good luck and feel better.
Edit: It could be spasms though. If so you may need to ask your Doc for something like Bentyl or some other kind of antispasmodic.

Found this on Amazon. I've always heard of Gasx (the link is the knockoff brand) from commercials but just never tried it. I'm more interested in figuring out the problem than covering it up but honestly for $20 I think it's a no brainer to keep these handy for when I go out. Thank you for the advice, hopefully it works.
I also react poorly with any SSRI antidepressant, but this is an old tricyclic antidepressant which has very minimal side effects. You take it right before bed so you'll wake up a bit groggy. But the rest of the day is pretty smooth.
Try peppermint oil immediately. It will give you instant relief.

I usually shoot it with a shot glass and chug water to chase it. It's been a life-saver.
These Rennie's.
edit: sorry linked the wrong one, it's the deflatine rennies.
That tastes really gross though. Very hard to drink. Order the capsules on Amazon.
I used to have the occasional heartburn before. There is a super useful antacid sold by GlaxoSmithKline everywhere in India. It would take for me literally seconds to get rid of the burning sensation unlike Tums which takes a while and also without tasting like crap unlike baking soda. If you have an Indian grocery store near where you live, you might find it at a cheaper price than Amazon.
Try Heather’s Tummy Tamers. They’re all natural peppermint, fennel, and ginger pills made specifically for IBS. You can get them at CVS or buy them on amazon. People swear by them, and i just bought them for my fiancé and he has had a ton of relief already.

Review of Heathers and proof!
Add some Beano ;-)
do you use the drops? infant gas relief
We used mylicon or gripe water when our kids got really fussy with gas. Helped a lot. Also, a snug swaddled and a swing worked wonders. We also had a little bouncy chair that vibrated that was awesome at putting them to sleep.

Weird! What active ingredients were in your drops? Mine were Simethicone 20mg.
They solved all my little dude's discomfort problems. We only had diaper rash difficulties when he was teething-- and a bit of bag balm cleared it up.
I need the gas drops on my baby list. I haven't gotten them yet because they were originally an add on item when I put them on my list, and I haven't had the extra money to get it. But baby is also really gassy and those would probably help.
Or any books or funkos. Because books and funkos.
>Any idea how many times I'll have to keep reapplying it throughout the day?
As a wildly un-informed speculative guess, maybe twice a week?
>I can't seem to find a product for it?
Should be available in a large-ish grocery store with OTC remedies in the digestive section; almost certainly available in the drug store.
For example.
Chewables, obviously, wouldn't work.

For garlic, it's like 2 hellish days for me and then it tapers off into random abdominal cramps after that. All in all I'd say it takes a week for me to fully recover. Get you some of Heather's Peppermint capsules, pop em a few times a day, and try out CBD oil too. That stuff is magic. If I've really messed up I take some ibuprofen as well.
