I see a lot of people say take gas-x to the hospital with you. My question is why? Don't they want you to get rid of the gas. And that's what the walking helps you do. Beside getting your cirrculation going. Any help would be appreciated.

Trust me . Walking helps but gasx helps relieve some of the discomfort faster . And no , they don't have a medicine there to help relieve gas.

Walking is always important. My doc doesn't give gas x to his patients in the hospital but best believe I took some as soon as I got home. My nurses were calling me a rock star bc I walked so much but it wasn't getting the gas out nearly as well as the gas x.

Oh, Thank you!!

My hospital did give me medication for gas - i was not allowed to bring in any medication from home while I was there. (this is the rule of most hospital). The medication was a pink liquid and comparable to smithocone liquid baby gas drops - which I used when I got home
