Windy Indomethacin for Gout is my featured image for First severe gout flare. Because part of the question was about the possibility of indomethacin for gout pain relief causing flatulence. So I looked into it. Then I found this on the PubChem database.

The text reads:

GI (Gastro-Intestinal) disturbances most frequently reported with indomethacin therapy include nausea, with or without vomiting, and dyspepsia (including indigestion, heartburn, and epigastric pain), which occur in 3-9% of patients. Diarrhea, abdominal distress or pain, or constipation occur in 1-3% of patients receiving the drug. Other adverse GI effects, occurring in less than 1% of patients, include anorexia, bloating (including distention), flatulence, gastroenteritis, rectal bleeding, proctitis, ulcerative stomatitis, intestinal strictures (diaphragms), and gingival ulcers.

My best advice is to get uric acid under control as soon as you can. Then you will not need gout pain relief. Because uncommon flatulence is one of the least threatening side effects of indomethacin for gout.
