Hmm, haven't thought too much about hfcs. Is it in lots of things? I guess I need to research that one.
Definitely laying on my stomach helps, but it takes a long time. It doesn't really make too much come "out", some but not like you would think, but it seems to alleviate it quicker. That and heat. Both of which can't really be done in public....
As far as Gax-X, I don't use the chewables I use the capsules and according to the box they don't have any artificial sweeteners in them, so I'm assuming they are still safe. I didn't know they were made to work in your stomach. Very interesting! I think it's pretty evident that mine is in my colon and not the stomach. I will try the charcoal caps. I don't care if they turn my stool rainbow colors, as long as they take away this gas.  Didn't know about that one either, so will gladly try it!
I can see where the "kneading" or "beating" on your stomach would help. I think that since laying on the floor on my stomach helps, that massage and kneading will too, so I will give them a try.
I'm not sure about me being anxious when I'm eating. I suppose it's very possible, at least sometimes. I can try to pay more attention and at least slow myself down. Can't hurt, that's for sure.
Thanks so much for the ideas - I truly appreciate them. I would give anything not to look pregnant 90% of the time. I think my stomach (colon or intestines, whichever) is stretched and inflated so much that it may never be flat again. I just think that as time goes on gravity will eventually make that hope impossible. My belly can't keep being distended without eventually staying in that shape.
