No comment about flatulence, but at one point -- before I became a very frequent flyer -- I had a stretch of about two years where I'd get serious stomach pains from air pressure changes every time I flew a longer-haul flight. This disappeared by itself when I started flying more, so maybe your guts just get used to being inflated and deflated.
