Abdominal massage for trapped gas       02/09/05 05:42 AM Edit Reply Quote retrograde Reged: 04/15/04 Posts: 1569 Hi Meshari If it is gas I've found that abdominal massage can really help release it. This is something my naturopath turned me on to and I find it really helps. Now, while you're doing it it's going to make your noises LOUDER (so don't do it during your lectures!) but in the long run I find it helps to really quiet them down. Lie on your back in bed and try to relax. Then start running your fingers over your stomach (mostly lower) until you find a spot that feels kind of lumpy or bubbly or a spot that hurts. Then gently but firmly press two or three fingers into the spot and start making little circles. Like I said, you'll probably start gurgling and grumbling! But it won't hurt, and after a minute or so you should notice that the 'lump' is starting to subside! (and well you may be releasing gas too so best to do this alone - it definitely relieves some of the pressure though!) Best of luck!!! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
