Best gas pain relief remedies post surgery???



Recommended Posts

I have read a lot that people suffer from different degrees of gas pain, some moderate to extreme. I was just wondering what you have found to be the most helpful to get the gas out or help deal with the pain until the body absorbs it or get's it out on its own time.

I have read hot bath, gas x, and rolaids so far.

Thanks,Audree:clap2:

Walking. Walk as much as you feel able to. I found it was the best thing. I'd just walk around in circles in my lounge room a few times every half hour for the first few days and then gradually built up to being able to being able to go for 15 -20 minute strolls.

Don't take a hot bath unless your doctor ok's it. I couldn't take baths for 6 weeks, showers are ok. Walking did the most for me, none of the gas-x did a thing for me.

baths are out for most because of your open wounds but a heating pad is awesome don't leave it too long because it will sweat and burn wounds I also found walking helps but most of all chew gas x

When I had my gall bladder out, I had the worse gas pains ever, I was screaming out in pain, and I found the ONLY thing that helped was walking. Gas-x, and everything else did nothing, but when I finally started walking, it helped. I know that when I get my lap-band, my butt is walking. I do not want to ever experience the pain I had with my gall bladder - it was u-g-l-y!

The GasX only works on air that is already in your stomach or intestines ready to be come out. I didnt find that much relief in it, but it certainly cant hurt and it is all some people need. I had the air that was still trapped in the abdominal cavity....I looked pregnant with the bloat, lol. The walking is what helped me immensely to work that air around where it could absorb and pass. Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones and not have any problem with the gas pains!!!!

Another one is Tummy Drops for babies...simethicone. You don't have to take much, and it works pretty fast.

Are these like the Mylecon drops for babies when they have gas???Audree

My surgon told me to lay on the bed with your butt in the air and your head on the bed. It really helped me pass gas.

      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.
