At church tonight, I had just the meat from a grilled hamburger that had Dale's seasonings on it. Now I have gas so bad I can't move it. Can I take a rolaids or pepto bismol??????:cursing:

Someone please hurry with an answer. It late and I need to go to bed. I can't walk all night.:thumbup:

You can take Gas-X. I don't know about the Pepto. I think it has aspirin and I think that is a no-no. I think the rolaids is like Gas-X and should be okay.

However, I have been filled with gas a few times and the only thing that worked for my was a heating pad. I know it is so painful. I would have never believed that a heating pad would work but it did. I hope you feel better.

You may want to check with your Dr in the A.M. so if it happens again you have some choices. By the way its NSAIDS that you are not to take. So you should be okay.

I had run out of the Gas-X and since I live in a rural area (Walgreens is 15 miles), I didn't want to go out that late. I didn't take the rolaids but intend to call doctor and get some more Gas-X today! Thanks for your help.

Gas-X-Strips. Make sure to take 3 or 4 of them. Many people take just 1, and that doesn't work. If you read the box it tells you.

Hope you get better soon.

Feeling great tonight. Doctor said to take the Gas-X and follow the directions on the box. I won't eat another hamburger for a long time! It might have been the Dale's seasoning but since I haven't eaten beef yet, it could have been a rejection from my body. I know it doesn't like cheese anymore. Back to chicken & fish. Thanks for the help.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
