Can someone please help me with BAD gas pains???
I have had really, really, bad[so bad I didn't go to work today] gas pains for the past 12 hours. It woke me up last nite while I was sleeping. I had diarrhea[sp? sorry TMI] last nite and thought they’d be gone. But when I woke up this morning, I still have them. Basically I have sharp pains from my chest all the way to lower stomach. As far as I know this is gas, right? It kind of feels like cramps all over from my chest to stomach. I feel as though I can’t really take a deep breath.
I have tried everything to get rid of it. I can’t go to the bathroom. They say don’t take a laxative if you have pain..so I don’t know. Please, does anyone know any remedies/what to take or do???? Thank you

It might be that your little episode of diarrhea hasn’t run its course yet- no fun!
Take some Peptol Bismol to soothe your stomach… and then go for a walk! (WHAT?! NO! I’M IN PAIN!) I know, it sucks to get out for a walk when your stomach is so messed up, but it’s better than any pill you can take for gas. Walking will help your body to get everything in your digestive system moving again. Nurses often encourage post-op patients to get up and get moving soon after their operations if the patient is experiencing severe gas pain from the anesthesia.
I suppose you might not want to go on a terribly long walk. It’s probably best to stay in the general vicinity of the toilet.

Maybe it is REALLY bad menstruel pains. I suggest taking some pepto bismol or milk of magnesia and then laying in bed all stretched out. It always helps me to be stretched out and not doubled over in the waist. A warm or cold wet cloth (Whichever tempurature feels better to you) on your stomach or where the pains are may feel good. If this does not go away by tomorrow, I suggest seeing a doctor.
