Hey guys a few months ago I had the same problem as you and I got it solved and discovered the cause so I want to share it with you because I hope you all get well, I know it's possible. I think that it's not a food problem, but a problem of the sphincter. At least, that was my case.
My problem was a MS flare-up. Apparently, it affected my spine in the part that regulates bowel and bladder function. MS can cause bowel and bladder incontinence, in my case it was not very severe but I had gas incontinence and all the problems you commented, which was very embarrassing and affected my social life a lot. You are not alone and no, you are not crazy. But if you want your problem to get solved what you should tell your doctor is that you have gas/fecal incontinence, so your problem will be taken seriously.
Now here are the things that doctors prescribed me and worked for me: Important: Please don't medicate yourself !! Bear in mind I have MS and this might not be the cause of your problem. Maybe yours is a pelvic floor issue not related to something neurological, but something else!!
1) High megadoses of metilprednisolone , which is a steroid (this is the treatment used for MS flare-ups). This reduces inflammation more quickly and alleviates symptoms.
2) Pelvic floor physiotherapy: low impact pelvic floor exercises (search in the internet). Biofeedback, and posterior tibial neurostimulation with TENS. You can buy a TENS machine in Amazon called Beurer EM49 and you can learn how to and where to place the electrodes if you search "posterior tibial neurostimulation" on google.
I have been well for 4 months. I recommend taking care of your mental health and surround yourself with people that care about you. If you need it go to a mental health professional. I have done that also.
I hope this works for you. I'm not going to be active here, just wanted to let you guys know my journey and to instill hope for you, hope this help. And don't give up, this will only make you stronger once you're past it.
