Ok I feel ok other than this horrible Gas and bloating, every time I take a sip of water I belch over and over, by night my abdomen is so distended and painful, Ive tried gas X, I dont use a straw, is there anything else I can do, Im on percocet, nexium, coumadin. I have a call in to the DR but they haven't called back, please tell me this will pass(literally)

I'm Still a work in progress, I wont give up the quest to reclaim my life, I will be whole again someday!

Walk, Walk, Walk... Get up and move. I know it hurts but its so very important. Someone told me early out "even if you just walk around your dining room table over and over" Ill never forget that. The more I moved the less I hurt from the gas. Sip slowly, walk, and repeat!!

Good luck,

B

Thanks B, Im doing that, Im up walking most of the day its more comfortable to walk in the morning, but I still walk off and on all day. Im thinking I could be lactose intolerant, so Im laying off milk products today, to see if that helps, thanks for the good advice Ill keep on truckin.

Yes i agree... walk walk walk.. walking helps with the gas. This has to be your daily routine.
go outside and walk around the block or walk down the road. something.

Congratulations being 4 days out. When you sip and swallow change it so your not taking
air in if your not doing so already.
