OMG - i never knew...

I know this is a day late. But maybe for future gas pain... It helps to lay on your right side. It helps the gas exit a bit quicker than on your left or even standing up. I have Crohn's Disease and I have felt your pain... literally. But a warm wash cloth can help too. Never fun. I hope the meds help regulate things for you quickly. I know, before surgery, metamucil taken daily helped me tons... but now after surgery, I am not sure how much can be taken? Maybe you could ask the doctor if that could help as well. Best wishes to feeling better!
“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
