Any quick fixes for a flare up of extreme bloating?

I look 6 months pregnant and can't bare to stand up at the moment. Tried painkillers, hot water bottle and stretches. Nothing is easing it today.

It's one of those that causes your back to really hurt to.

Any advise would be warmly welcomed xx

Hi I suffer from bloating with ibs and look 6 months pregnant if it's not stress it's constipation or could be a food. I use oil of peppermint I put drops jn warm water or with peppermint tea bag I also buy the peppermint capsules you can get on line at Holland and Barrett . I feel buscopan does not help me . Also trying to massage ur tummy helps if the pain away. I'm on ibuprofen from doctor bit I may have ovary pain too hence how I'm gojng for a laparoscopy which he says will likely show nothing as scan clear bit j know it's a different pain from ibs . Hope this helps
