Gas pain

[Madavis]

I have been experiencing gas cramps and lower back pain. I get sharp gas pains, so annoying.

Has anyone experienced this feeling too?

Yes I get it regular.

Ginger tea helps.

[MissEd]

Yes, I get quite a lot of gas pain. I had it under my ribs for 3 days the other week.

Yep. When I get gut pain, it is usually gas working it's way out. Sometimes it can make me feel quite unwell until it is passed. A buscopan tablet sometimes helps, but I know some folks react badly to it. Have you spoken to your doctor about this pain?

I moved so I have a new Dr,, not a gastroenterologist but I am going to mention it to him. I have been suffering with IBS for six years, I take IBGard and helps me but some days I get so annoyed 😞Most mornings I get out of bed and within seconds I get this feeling in my stomach of pressure, if someone was pulling down, I had a CT scan, ultrasound, breath test, colonoscopy and endoscopy five years ago and everything looked fine, which is great but that’s when I was diagnosed with IBS.

I had another colonoscopy and endoscopy few months ago and all good.

Between IBS and my lower back issues I get a little depressed sometimes

Thank you for listening 😀

It's OK, I understand. My gas happens more often in the afternoon. That said, as soon as I am out of bed in the morning, first stop is the loo. Often my guts wake me up. We call it 'the Crapen wakes'.

Grip mixture (for baby’s) helps release spasms in gut

No matter what I eat. I get an abnormal amount of painful burning gas after every main meal??? About an hour later. Very embarrassing tail end.

[Oscar091]

Yes I suffer terrible with wind as I suffer from IBS -D but when I went into hospital with a bad diverticulitis attack I was diagnosed with an abnormal gaseous abdomen and put on a low residue diet which means no fibre food so I went from having a high fibre diet to no fibre at all but one good thing I have less wind I take mebeverine which helps a lot.

I get wind pains that come and go. Ages without them, then maybe a week or so with them most days, then they disappear again for a while. My gut doesn't even produce too much gas, I don't think so anyway as generally I only pass wind about 6 times a day. Apparently the norm is 10-20 times!

But it's when it gets trapped that it hurts. Slight stress can start that for me. Even pleasant stress like visiting someone or having things to do.

I have to lie completely flat on the floor for about 10 minutes, and just 'let go', let my body fully relax and breathe, stare at the ceiling, listen to music. It's the usual thing that can help me. Many a time I've had to do that in friends bathrooms. They must have wondered what I was doing up there!

Hey I have found some help from horrible wind pains to severe constipation . Peppermint oil for the wind cramps and Buscopan helps to settle your stomach. For the constipation I use Liquorish and mango juice and curry Good Luck xx
