don't drink icecold drinks, etc. stick to room temp.

linseed cereal in the morning and loads of water. also good: fennel tea

alternatively try a not too spicy ladyfinger curry (they should rid you of your constipation in no time )

Right Ill try all of those, thankyou, feel that full of gas think I might float away at any moment!!

I swear by Prune Juice (I actually like the taste too)

try lying on your back with your right hand above your head. left hand by your side.
instictively you want to double-up with the discomfort but this makes it worse. lie like this for 10-15 mins then walk around a big belch usually follows. if not lie down again. lying like this gives me instant relief from the pain

this is cut and pasted from a thread of mine back in 2004!!

Two slices of wholemeal bread each morning with marmite (alternative spread may be substituted) seemed to solve those kind of things for me.
