1y vegan with stomach growling and gases

Question

I've been vegan for one year now and since the beginning I've had intermitent stomach growling (not everyday but almost) usually between 5 and 7pm, gas and urgents calls for poo and just expel gas and a bit of liquid. 
I thought it was some kind of intolerance because I introduced new foods in my diet like soy or nuts, but I have quit eating these for some time with no results. I have to say a have a quite stressfull life, just like before, and I have stopped doing exercise but in summer, when I'm more relaxed and doing exercise, all the symtops disappear.
I would think is the exercise but some symtops just don't seem to have any relation.
Has someone gone through this? Does someone knows what could be the cause?
Thanks!!

I have had similar stomach and gas issues since going mostly vegan about 3 months ago, following an ayurvedic detox.

Eating slower, chewing your food well will help reduce gas.  Also, excess gas can be caused by talking or taking in excess air through mouth while eating. I have had this issue. I feel your pain. Also, eat smaller meals throughout the day, instead of large meals. Don't eat large meals, especially not a few hours before bedtime. Hang in there.
