How Can I Deal With Severe Flatulence?

I am 37 yrs old have 2 children exercise and have a fairly normal varied diet. I have a severe flactulance which is extremely smelly and it's getting to a point where I dare not go out incase I smell. I have tried cutting out high fiber products and tried keeping my diet very bland but it does not seem to help. I go to the toilet once a day but i am going more. i am embarrased at my problem and need help. I'm worried it maybe something serious.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about a 37 year old female having 2 children, exercises and have normal varied diet. Have severe flatulence which is smelly, dare not to go out, tried cutting high fiber diet, having bland diet, now going going to toilet more than once a day...
As per the history your have produced, the extremely smelly flatulence is usually due to overgrowth of gas-producing bacteria.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Identify the foods, additive and beverages that instigate or enhance your problems and stop them altogether. For example many people get flatulence with nuts.
Get the stool and blood tested.
Get a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole.
Get started with probiotics.
Hence with preventive and curative methods your problem will be solved.
