YES!! That is exactly where I had it.. lasted about a week then it subsided. Use the gasx-X strips, they do help!

I had spasms there about a week to two weeks out that would usually hit in the middle of the night when trying to sleep. Landed me in the loal ER to get some some additional fluids, anti-GERD meds and a GI cocktail. It was a combination of acid reflux and gas and it was miserable.

My GP upped my protonix script (for acid reflux) to twice a day and I took Miralax each day for two weeks as well. Trust me - if things are moving through your system, the gas ain't so bad. Now I'm fine with just colace.

I'm 4 months out today and am starting to take two protonix every other day to see if I can get it down to 1 a day. So far, so good.

i also had lots of pain there. for me it subsided after 4 days when the gas seems to have left the body.
