I have a gas bubble sitting under my left rib that is so painful I don't know what to do. Has this ever happened to anyone? I have tried everything and it just wont go away....OUCH!!! :help:

Let's see to relieve gas I have 1. walked 2. gas-x 3. had my kids pat my back 4. drank something warm

Walk, walk, walk. You can also try a heating pad and laying on your left side.

Walking didn't work for me at all, it was just too painful. I had gas for 7weeks which is unusual. I tried everything. So try this and see if it works.. this is what I did.

1) used a fleet suppository (this relieved alot of the pressure temporarily of course) you will hear the gates of heaven when the gas comes out.

2) Lie on your back without a pillow (that way the gas bubbles aren't trapped)

3) take something to help you, (I will attach the remedies but the charco pills worked the best for before and after meals)

4) Use a hot pack on your shoulder (relieves it temp.)

Good luck!

Remedies

Folk

Betaine hydrochloric acid will help digest excess food that your digestive system can't handle on its own and help relieve gas, bloating, and an upset stomach. Older people especially are low in this very necessary acid. Take 1-2 tablets with any large meal. Pancreatic enzymes will also be helpful.

Carbonated Water It encourages belching to relieve the gas.

Celery seeds Chew (but don't swallow) a teaspoon of seeds. This remedy is supposed to provide quick relief.

Chamomile helps improve digestion and aids in expelling trapped gas in the digestive tract. Make a tea by pouring one cup of boiling water over 1-2 teaspoons of the dried herb; cover; steep for fifteen minutes; strain. This remedy is excellent for babies who have colic, too. Give the baby 1/4 cup of tea diluted with an equal amount of water in a bottle before each feeding.

Charcoal, activated Activated charcoal will bind to the gas. Take two tablets before and after meals. Do not take with other medications, supplements, or birth control pills, as it binds to them, too. Do not use on a long term basis, only for temporary relief.

Fennel helps improve digestion and aids in expelling trapped gas in the digestive tract. Make a tea by pouring one cup of boiling water over 1-2 teaspoons of the dried herb; cover; steep for fifteen minutes; strain. This remedy is excellent for babies who have colic, too. Give the baby 1/4 cup of tea diluted with an equal amount of water in a bottle before each feeding.

Ginger Mix one teaspoon of fresh grated ginger with one teaspoon of lime juice; take immediately after eating.

Pancreatic enzymes will aid digestion and help relieve gas, bloating, and an upset stomach. Take as directed.

Peppermint The herb peppermint, either in tea form or chewing the leaves, will relax the intestines and make it easier for the gas to escape. Peppermint is a carminative, which is a substance that removes accumulated gas from the stomach and intestines. Make a tea by pouring one cup of boiling water over 1-2 teaspoons of the dried herb; cover; steep for fifteen minutes; strain. This remedy is excellent for babies who have colic, too.
