For guys only. Does this happen to you and what do you do? What do you say?!
Question: My treatments really mess up my stomach. I get real bad gas and sometimes I don't have the choice of going somewhere alone. I'm talking about painful toxic stuff. My Dad calls me a WMD, Weapon of Mass Destruction. Anyway, today I was in one of those situations where I couldn't leave. I was really hurting and there was people all around. I told my Mom that I needed to go and then I told a nurse that I needed to go real bad. They didn't listen. So I had to let it go. Man it wasn't pleasant for anybody but me, and after a moment it wasn't pleasant for me. It's funny now but it was horrible then.
What can I take to help cause I tried that beano and it didn't do nothing? Is it just part of my treatment or is it me? I think when I left, there was people staring at me givng me the evil eye. I'll probably have a lot of room the next time I'm in there.

Its the treatment. I am assuming chemo or rad? Almost everyone has digestive problems of some sort. The toxic chemicals essentially cause ulcers through the entire digestive tract. It could also be because of stomach acids.
Speak to a dietician about what foods may help.
Take lot antacids. You could do tums, but I prefer an rx. Also, the gas x strips may help. And ask your doc for a pain killer to help with the pain
