What Causes Cramps, Bloating, Flatulence And Stomach Rumbles?

Hello, I have Cramping, bloating, farting, bleching and rumbling in stomach. I have a terrible eat and sleep cycle due to rotational shifts. Been having this flatulence issue since a couple years now. Had undergone a hydrogen breath test last year which confirmed that there is a bacterial growth in my small intestine. My gastro had me take Antibiotics for remedy but didn t stop the flatulence. The medicines I had were Rixmin and Doxy. Now he suggested me to stop that and just have Pegmove for a good bowel which would help ease the issue but this hasn t helped. I have had terrible cramps during night since a week and unable to sleep well. Please suggest a remedy/ medicine for the issues.
