Trapped gas for 2 days?!


Question: Trapped gas for 2 days!?
A couple of days ago I ate a large meal for dinner and ever since have had waving pains in my lower abdomen, bloating and overall discomfort (except when I am lying down)!.

I have tried taking a laxative both days, Alka Seltzer, Pepto Bismol, and tried doing several exercises to release any gas but overall there has been little improvement!. The pain isn't severe, but overall it's very uncomfortable and is making me feel irritable!.

What else can be done and when should I start thinking this might be something else!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Alka Seltzer and Pepto Bismol are not laxatives!. If you haven't had a BM, that's what you need to do, as constipation causes bloating!. Try bran flakes, fruit (cherries always work)!. If you want to take medicine, try a stool softener!. Also, there is something called gas pills (simethicone) that you can get at Walmart or Target!. I get the generic, and it works like a charm!. Since the pain isn't severe, you should be able to manage without going to the doctor!. But, if the pain gets worse, or you don't have a bm, you need to see a physician!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

go to your doctor, it might be an infection!.

I had terrible stomach pains and gas for ages, and nothing cured it until finally I got some antibiotics and it started to go away after just 8 hours after I took the first dose!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
