How do you handle gas pains when you must sit for long periods?

As we all know, if a person with a pouch needs to pass gas, he or she ends up soiling themselves.  If I am able to move around, I can normally burp and feel better.  However, I have recently found myself in situations where I have to sit for long periods and I have tremendous pain.  For example, last week I chose to have a sandwich with pickles several hours before I had to go to class and I was miserable.  I had a break between classes and I forced myself to have a bowel movement, which I know is not ideal, but I did not have another solution.  I know that having a bowel movement when you do not need one can be harmful.  Has anyone tried a Gas-X type product and what where your results?
