seems like anything that i eat produces exesive gas, causing stomach pain and discomfort, i cannot relief the gas and my belly seems to be producing more and more, for the ones that suffer it, i feel for them
Oh, yeah, big time! I'm on prescription medication for my problems though.
My gastro-intestinal problems are two-fold. I take an Rx for excess stomach acid (Losec), and another (Motilium) to keep "things moving along" within my intestines. If I didn't, "things would back up" and give me major problems. No laughing matter either. Bad enough to put me into our local ER.
I've always been told by my doc to drink lots of water, and eat lots of fiber, etc, among other things.
Every once in a while, I would get a "blip" where my system would be out of balance due to god-knows-what. There's a hundred and one different ways.
Just to give you a small sample of things that I'm to avoid:
Alcohol, coffee, tea, carbonated drinks, chocolate, spicy foods, eating too much, etc, etc...
In my case, I found a way to even out these "blips". Don't laugh now, okay? One word....
prunes! Yup, seems to help good.
I'll say one thing, for people like myself who can suffer from chronic gas cramping, it is hell when you get it. It's like being knifed in the gut.
I hope you find the answer to your problems. Don't feel embarrassed to talk to your doctor about it. You could have symptoms of something else.
