Gas under my diaphragm.

[dawnyelizabeth]

Hi. I had my laproscopy and endo removal 2 days ago. They made three incisions so im hurting. I have gas trapped under my diaphragm its agonising affecting under my breast and down my right arm. Anyone have any ideas to make me feel more comfortable?? Sorry

Fart and burb the gas out at every available opportunity - don't hold back out of being polite - the quicker you get that gas out the better.

Do not add to the problem by drinking any fizz drinks at all, or eating the known gassy foods like green leaf veges cabbage, sprouts etc, baked beans and so on.

Do try windeze tablets from the chemists - or peppermint tea or peppermints in general.

You can stop it getting worse by taking on board more gas, and you can take pain killers and drinking extra water and keeping s active s you can manage to be. Regular pottering around the house will get the bowels moving and speed up the gas trying to get out.

Can't think of anything else to add at the moment - best of luck for a speedy recovery.

If u can stomach it have peppermint tea, really helped me and make sure when I can walk around the house a bit as seems to ease it. I had my lap done last Thursday and that help relieve my pain from gas.

my doctor advised me to drink a lot of fizzy drinks to help burp the gas

Children's gripe water - a god send and really helped me when my first surgeon decided he didn't have time to allow most of the gas to come out so stitched me back up!!
