I kept a food diary yesterday. Two things aggravated my system: 1/2 pbj on ww toast (lunch) and tuna steak with lemon juice and pepper (dinner) (it wasn't much--my hubby didn't want it too bland).
I ended up in severe pain after only eating about 2 ounces of the fish...and I really had to force myself to eat it, because all my tummy was begging for was noodles. I ended up curled up in a ball--it even hurt to be on my back and I could barely stand up straight.
Back to the hospital--my b.p. was threw the roof because of the pain. The nurse gave me a shot of an antispasmatic and poof!! The pain level significantly decreased. Not only that, I was actually able to pass gas for the first time in over a week (sorry for the explicitness).
They took an abdominal x-ray and the dr. said I have a lot of gas. I thought that was odd, since I have not been able to pass any of it, although I have been belching quite often, and I never belch.
So, my questions are:
1) How do I untrap the traped gas?
2) Besides the common gas-causing foods (I think I overdid the hot water and lemon...), what else should I do?
3) Why have I been belching all week but barely passing any gas?
Thanks in advance.

what is bentyl?? i have this prob. too. my doc gives me xifaxin every 6 months or so. don't think it worked well this time around. i tried acupuncture and, honestly, i noticed some improvement in my bloating. also, i have been going on the treadmill walking for 20 minutes after meals. I think this helps me move everything along. My mom is a nurse and her advice was to walk after meals to move everything along. Most of the time i look like i'm 5 months pregnant because i'm so bloated.
