Are you also only able to pass gas if you’re on your front??

excuse the forward question but really I have no other way otherwise it stays trapped for a longer time!

Hi, not a forward question at all, it is very straightforward. I have had many episodes of trapped wind and found that lying on my bed on my front and rolling from side to side helped it to shift. Also rolling on top of a firm object ( say a large bean bag ) strategically placed where my abdomen feels locked can help. The pressure here is key, otherwise I have massaged my abdomen quite strenuously whilst sitting or lying., though the added pressure of gravity from lying on your front can be very helpful!

Hope this too is helpful, very best wishes Mutley

Laying on your left side also helps, as does pulling up your knees. Nothing seems to help me, though, like a little exercise (just walking, for example). Not very practical at night, but ...

If I have hard to move wind I use a hola hoop which massages the gut
