I've been experiencing lots of gas in my stomach as well as bloating. I'm belching all day long and my stomach gets as hard as a rock. I don't have pains, but I do have nausea. Sometimes the gas is so bad I just want to vomit. Furthermore, my stomach is so swollen people are now asking if I'm pregnant! (Of course, they should know that if I were, that it would be my lower abdomen that would be big, not upper.) I don't know what to do. I haven't gone to the doctor yet because, honestly, I no longer have health insurance. I'd like to find a strong and effective over-the-counter medication that works! I've tried Gas-X and almost everything else, but NOTHING works. I do have some Zantacs around the house and am wondering if these will work for gas (I'm aware they're taken for heartburn). Anyone have any advice? I'm willing to pay more for something that'll work. Please help! Thanks.
Answer:
strong brewed peppermint herbal tea would be my first suggestion, we give it to post surgical patients in the hospital that have alot of gas. (no sweetners, no sugar)
Next, alka seltzer, it will make you burp like crazy.
you also need to address the cause of the gas.it is common if this condition comes on suddenly, that it is caused by developing a lactose intolerance, so try not eating any dairy products what so ever for a couple of weeks and see if that fixes the problem.
The other possibility is a gall bladder problem, in which case fats would be the culprit and you would need to go on a totally fat free diet. Hope this information is some help to you.
it might be indigestion. get some pepto bismol or some other antacid. also try eating smaller portions
Take "beano" and there'll "beano" gas.
Stop eating so bad.
drink a lot of water. i mean LOTS.
take an antacid tablet - like zantac.
Thier was this one time (I think I was 21) I was in so much pain and my stomach expaned so big I thought I was going to die. My friend ran to the store and got some "Gas-X" and it releived it with in the first 20 minutes.Later I found out I was lactose intolerant, and I have Gerd (My stomach produces more acid then it needs).Buy some Gas-X
and buy over the counter "acid reducer" ...
and you should be fine.
Try peppermint tea or ginger tea. They both help with the digestive tract. I would stick with the mint teas. They expel gas fairly quickly and promotes digestionGood luck
Try drinking more water and going for a few walks. Avoid spicy food and grease. I really think you need to see a Doctor.
Unfortunately, you could have something more serious than just a gas problem. You need to be seen by a physician. I had a similar situation recently and it was related to sleep apnea which was brought on by severe under treated hypothyroidism. Yes, I looked pregnant, about 6 months.Since antacids aren't doing the trick, I'd start looking at conditions which can cause your symptoms.Lactose intolerance is also a symptom of hypothyroidism.Other conditions can cause this type of bloating as well.See a doctor. Find a low-cost clinic and go.
