Unfortunately, for some of us gas is part of the whole IBS experience--it is for me, too. I have found a position to lay in--called the knee/chest position--which helps a lot to move trapped gas through my system. Basically, the parts of your body touching the mattress are your chest and your knees, with your butt up in the air. It's the position babies get in to relieve their little tummies because it naturally allows gas to rise to what is now the top and work its way out the end of the system (your bottom). Babies do this by instinct. Try it for at least 30 minutes at a time.
