Re: Post "D" Gas       03/31/03 05:38 PM Edit Reply Quote Andie Reged: 01/29/03 Posts: 161 Loc: Western NY This happens to me occasionally - what I find helps is a heating pad (yes, hard to do at work) but also - if I take 3 max strength Phazymes right after the "d-attack", well before the gas pain begins, I can avoid it. If I can tell my gut is still not right after a couple of hours (I envision a clawing cat inside my lower tummy!), I will take another 2-3 Phazymes to try to avoid the cramping gas. I have also found a helpful position to allow the gas to pass is leaning over on a counter so my tummy "hangs" - it seems to allow more room for the intestines to "spread out" and allow the air to move. I think what causes the cramping gassy feeling is that the bowels are spasming and the gas gets trapped in pockets of bowel (think of the spasms tightening the bowel like the pinches of a sausage casing to form the individual sausages) - I once described this image to my GI and he said that is just what's going on. I just know it hurts! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
