Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Lorraine, you can buy Gas-X or Phazyme. They come in soft gel tabs, so I'm not sure how that will work for you. However, the old fashioned way is to drink something as hot as you can stand and go for a walk. That might break it up. If you're having trouble going to the bathroom, stool softeners might do the trick. If it persists and nothing works, you should contact your surgeon's office, because maybe it just feels like gas, but is something else. If you can't expel any gas, it's best to have it checked out. --Cat > > I have a ball of gas in my stomach I walked it won't come out what eles > do I do it hurting my back! =( > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Have you tried taking a pillow and holding it to your stomach (from support) and squeezing into the fetal position, putting pressure on your tummy. Hope you get to feeling better.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 This may sound crazy, but about a million years ago and a nurse that had to be as hold told me to sit in a rocker with my legs crossed and rock.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Along that same line...what has often worked for me is to sit in a chair, feet on the floor and bend your upper body far forward, hold a few seconds and then sit upright again..like a pumping action on your abdomen. Keep repeating this. Hope it helps. Hugs, D.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I suffer from quite a bit of gas and found that there can be a lot of pressure that causes pain even if there isn't an actual release of gas. Gas X comes in chewables that work to release the pressure within about 30 minutes. IF you react to Gas X, or have in the past, buy some anise seed and make a tea. drink the anise seed tea and because of the heat any gas that needs to be released will come up, but the anise seed will help relieve the pressure caused by the bloating of your tummy. Phazyme takes too long for relief, it's really meant for indigestion, so I don't use it. baricat baricat@...> wrote: Lorraine, you can buy Gas-X or Phazyme.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Not true. Phazyme is definitely for gas. Check it out on their website. It's to relieve pressure, pain and bloating caused by gas by breaking it up. My son and husband swear by it, and neither one suffers from indigestion. I think you may be confusing it with another product. --Cat > > I Phazyme takes too long for relief, it's really meant for indigestion, so I don't use it. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I had horrible gas pains from the time I woke up in recovery until about 3 weeks out. It was so bad but nothing could be done. You can trying moving and walking but my surgeon said it just has to work it's way out. I feel for you.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I had gas about three days after surgery and once I was able to let it out, I was able to have a bowel movement and that really helped me.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 I had the gas pains for the first week, it was more uncomfortable then the surgery itself. It will work it's way, I remember just sitting and rubbing my stomach to make it move around some, that seemed to help me. One night the gas climbed under my left ribcage, talk about pain, wheeeww... I took some pain med and tried to sleep it off, that helped! Best Wishes! iamthinnow iamthinnow@...> wrote: I had horrible gas pains from the time I woke up in recovery until about 3 weeks out.
