Trapped wind

[Hicking]

Hi guys

Do any of you experience trapped wind but like real low down , like right down in the groin area.

Terrible pain then break wind and it eases.

Any input , cheers

We are all different as to where wind gets trapped. I get it mostly top of ascending colon, bad pain until wind is released. But yes a friend gets its low down similar to you.

Yes - I get it right below my tummy - as if there is a big blockage there. Wind does not get out until an ave of 5 hours - and it is painful. Best avoid food that cause the wind - no other choice from experience.

For a long time I have been awoken in the early hours of the morning with (low down) stomach pain. I was fearful of it being something 'sinister' but slowly established that it is almost certainly caused by wind. I have found that simply avoiding fruit (and other high fibre food) from late afternoon onwards, has eased the discomfort significantly.

Incidentally, most of my family are vegan . . and cook very appetising meals, but whenever I eat with them I suffer acute bloating. I have come more and more to the conclusion that what the gut likes best is what it's used to ! I'm 80 and know that I have diverticula.

Raw fruits and veggies do this to me for sure! You’re not alone honestly though I don’t take anything for it..been on Viberzi for Ibs-d for about a year and it controls the D, but not the painful gas. I hope you find some relief!

Most mornings tbf unless I'm constipated. Noticing that not eating breakfast helps but also that creates numerous problems of itself. I try and 'go' and as soon as I'm done in the bathroom I'm fine all day. Oatmeal also limited it for me

This is my main problem with IBS-C slow transit. I have found a little relief with Senocalm which is simethicone and peppermint oil. I find the pain it causes very difficult to manage. I have seen a private Gastroenterologist and he cannot offer me any more than the NHS can. However, I am booked in for a Lidocaine Infusion in May. I don't know anyone else suffering with severe IBS. There was supposed to be a support group set up locally but it has not materialised. I think this would be useful for support. Good luck with finding some relief from your gas pain.
