Hi
I get this too, this unmoving painful gas bloating always about 6-10 hours after a diarhea attack. It makes walking or standing very painful, and eating food only intensifies the pain  . What I find works is lying flat on my back, and massaging my abdomen firmly and/or lightly with my hands, (clockwise-ish) gradually around in the direction that my large intestine takes from ascending, to transverse to descending and then back to the beginning again, and start over until some relief begins to happen. Within an hour I am usually able to expell this bloated trapped air, some times it takes longer. Peppermint tea, chamomile, or fennel also helps.
Good Luck
Kris
