Any Suggestions On Getting Rid Of Gas



Recommended Posts

I'm still in the hospital & they won't give me meds for gas. This hurts & is so uncomfortable. Please tell me what to do in the meantime . I know once I get out I can take gas x. :(

Getting up and walking. Also keep your bed in a somewhat sitting up position. That's what helped me. Got sleeved Tuesday and doing great!! Walking really helped me!!

The only thing that I have heard that is truly effective is walking, walking and more walking. The more you can move the better.

If your talking about the gas that they use to inflate your stomach, there isn't much you can take for that. If your talking about stomach gas, walk, walk, walk, walk and walk some more! This too, shall pass. Literally ;-)

I would lay in bed and cup my hands and lightly pat my stomach...Kind of like burping a baby but on your belly..It really helped me to move the gas some..an of course walking...

Pass as gas as possible. :) Seriously walk, walk and walk some more. Walking really helps to get rid of the painful gas you are dealing with now. It usually gets better for folks after week 2 and then gone by week 4.

Not to dash your hopes, but i found gas substantially increases after switching to solid food. I don't even try and be discrete about it any longer when at home, even the dog is jealous of my ability to fill the room. Sorry, I am in a weird mood where everything seems funny. Must be because it is Friday.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
