how does trapped gas happen?

Like when you get a really bad tummyache and it’s ‘colic’, and people say it’s ‘trapped gas’. Where is it trapped? Isn’t there only one way for it to go? Why is it so painful?

The stuff moving through your intestines can create gas as it breaks down. If that gas get caught between other solids and liquids that are moving through your intestines, then it tends to push on your intestines’ walls as it is compressed between the objects that have trapped.
