Embarrassing gas?

I have embarrassing smelling gas constantly. I have no life I’m stuck at home because I can’t go places because of gas. I’ve tried everything. My meds are metoprolol lisinopril ploglitazone. A statin blood thinner for over a year now. I had a stint put in October of 2020. I'm desperately seeking answers I have to get rid of it. I have terrible back pain the only thing that helps is laying down.

Excessive flatulence is often caused by carbohydrate malabsorption. Reducing carbs in the diet usually helps. Try the low FODMAP diet.
