Peacock's Point got a reaction from fusionbell in getting rid of the gasI'm right there with you! I had surgery on Monday and I can't seem to get anything down without it causing horrible gas pains. I've tried gas-X, walking, drinking slowly, etc... I just don't want to try and get any liquids down because it's so uncomfortable. Hopefully, someone has some suggestions on how to get these liquids down. Thanks for posting!
The other thing is, it's not the gas in the bowels it's the gas when you swallow something and it doesn't go down smoothly and your throat tightens up slightly, a little pain in the throat/chest area as it tries to go down. I wonder if my repaired hernia might have something to do with this too.
