My friend is a massage therapist and she taught me to massage my stomach in a clockwise motion. I have been doing that for the last few days and it seems that my bloating has gone down quite a bit. It's certainly worth a shot!

Yeah, my naturopath recommended this to me too. I find that it can REALLY help relieve the pains of trapped gas especially. It's crazy when you're massaging yourself (I do it before I go to sleep most nights) and you find a little pocket of pain (trapped gas) and you can just massage it until it basically goes away. So yeah, it definitely helps with the bloating. There are also lots of great yoga poses that do basically the same thing - i.e. forward bends are basically a massage for the abdomen.
