Holy gas pains!

Alex
So, I'm 20 weeks today. Baby looks great, everything is measuring right on track. The only issue I'm really having at this point, (and really through most of this pregnancy so far) is the excruciating gas pains! I mean, grip the desk and grit your teeth kind of pains. Is this normal? Is there a way to prevent it? I don't feel as though I eat anything that should produce this kind of reaction.
