Infertility probably has nothing in common with your digestive problems (stomach pains, bloating, passing gas, constipation etc.). To investigate the reason(s) for your digestive problems you can request an abdominal ultrasound, blood analyses, gastroscopy, colonoscopy, laparoscopy etc. and can consult an internist to follow up.
