RE: OT-Remedy for Very Painful Gas?

Charcoal. Capsules are neater & easier to swallow than tablets, but if he

can't swallow pills you can make a paste with it. How to get that down him

I can't help you with. :-S

There are the infant gas drops. I don't know about how they might affect

our kids, just throwing it out there.

Vit C - a large dose will help flush everything on out. You can give the

charcoal and C together.

What does his diet include? Has he always had gas pains or is this a recent

thing? Does it happen after he eats or at certain parts of the day? Doe he

have acid reflux symptoms also? Is he on any supplements or medications? Does

he have loose stools? Does he drink excessively?

Gas can come from different things. There are homeopathic remedies that can

help with the pain until you can find out the cause. He could have pathogens in

his GI system that can cause this. He could have an intolerance to a food. He

could lack certain enzymes to digest certain foods and so on.

Have you tried enzymes or good bacteria or possibly antifungals if it is

yeast related?

Tums.

Cumin aromatherapy oil mixed in a little bit of lotion and rubbed on the

abdomen is amazing for stopping all cramps and stomach upset. It's like a

miracle

cure for most abdomenal discomfort. Of course, it just helps with symptoms,

not the actual cause. Have you ruled out overgrowth of some sort of bacteria,

yeast or parrasite and looked at a possible dietary cause?

For my kids, if the gas was caused by food intolerance, I would give

enzymes and/or Pepcid AC. If the gas was caused by yeast, I would

give GSE.
