HELP! Kidney beans trying to kill me!

71 replies

Caerulea · 10/05/2024 00:41

I'm in desperate need of trapped burp remedies. I'm under investigation for IBS (& all the other things) & made the stupid mistake of eating (really well cooked) Kidney beans for dinner, which was moronic.

Tried peppermint tea, hot water bottle, massage from DH, tempted by two years out of date gaviscon. Son has gone on an hour long round trip to find me Rennies.

Brief relief on meatiest burps but the beans are just in there fucking fermenting or some shit! It's hurting right up my spine & both my sodding shoulders.

So please - anything, anything at all! Cos this is wild!

Get someone to give you a vigorous foot massage. The feet are full of pressure points. Works on me with my night shift trapped wind 💨

Gawd, I'd forgotten night shift trapped wind! It was agony - used to radiate up the chest and felt like I was about to have a heart attack.

I'm glad the pain has subsided - you must be exhausted.

I wanted to say how touching that the petrol station worker gave some of his own Rennies Grin

This sounds similar to my gall bladder pain, attacks eventually subside but come back round. Be worth getting that checked.

Hi. I suffer from this a lot,and recently have discovered wild dose, a herbal tablet which i take daily, to avoid bloating as opposed to treating after becoming bloated. Seriously the best thing i have ever used. I take 2 every morning and also 2 further before my evening meal if i know its something that may cause bloat (not always necessary) seriously give them a try.

Thank you so much everyone. The ambulance service just called me to see if I still wanted them to turn up. Good job I wasn't having a heart attack, aye. I didn't think I was but the system obviously did. I got to the point of thinking my gallbladder was about to explode or something.

The pain dropped off enough I fell asleep in a ball on the setee.

Stomach is being a bit noisy, small burps & I feel like I've been kicked about, just absolutely shattered.

@Minimili I cannot express just how much pain I was in, it really felt like a hand gripping my spine! I didn't want to go to hospital (an hour away) but my brain just didn't know what to do. Had I not got this consultation with the colonoscopy ppl this morning I would have gone even now that it's dropped off. I've always gotten trapped wind (for burps) occasionally but just nothing at all on this scale.

I cannot believe just how bad that was!

Bloody hell, op. Thinking of you.

ApolloandDaphne · 10/05/2024 05:14

I hope you have been seen now and have managed to get some relief.

BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants · 10/05/2024 05:07

Do you have Bicarbonate of soda, one teaspoon in half a glass of water it will really help or get in the bath and the hot water will help you. I often suffer like that and it is horrendous and rennie is crap does nothing. Have you solpadeine for the pain as soluble easier on tummy. A massaage gun. I have to rub my son's back if he gets really bad gas/wind and he was nearly crying once with it, is horrible and the pain always bad on lower right side so get your partner/husband to press in there and as others have said lay out flat and twist to the side or even sit on sofa, bend down and back up slowly as releases wind. Hope you get some relief soon but bicarbonate of soda will help you burp put excess gas.

Wind can be excruciatingly painful.

I was on codeine for a long time for back problems, the chemist decided after 10 months that I’d been on them for too long and stopped them instantly.

I had been so constipated taking them and two days later with none in my system I had stomach cramps that were so painful I was literally begging DP to knock me unconscious. I had no idea what was causing the pain and so we called an ambulance, I had to have a huge dose of morphine before I was out of agony.

It was years ago and I’ve never experienced that kind of pain since, the paramedics and hospital staff rushed tests because I was being sick with pain and fainting with it.

I hope that it’s nothing serious for you OP and I completely sympathise about the pain if it something similar to what i experienced. I would never have believed that kind of pain wouldn’t be caused by serious issues but doctors told me people often don’t realise that when “it’s just wind” how much it can hurt!

Lulouise · 10/05/2024 02:24

I hope you’re soon feeling much better OP. 💐

Hopefully they will be with you soon, sending lots of good thoughts your way

AliceCallous · 10/05/2024 02:02

Won't help for now, but I recommend getting some probiotic tablets for the future.

JaneJeffer · 10/05/2024 02:00

Oh God I hope you're ok @Caerulea

Glad 111 listened and that they are sending an ambulance, but obviously sorry that you’re still in such pain. Did they say how long it might take for ambulance to arrive?

No, response times here are terrible so I've no idea. I think they think I might be having heart issues, she asked if I had some aspirin

I wonder if it might actually be gallstones / biliary colic from the description of the pain and it’s intensity

UnctuousUnicorns · 10/05/2024 01:38

A heaped teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda stirred into a small glass of water, then drunk quickly while still fizzing usually helps me. It should make you belch a lot! I hope you get some relief. 🙏

cherryassam · 10/05/2024 01:36

I would call 111 maybe? How far is A&E for you?

The intensity of the pain does sound concerning.

OK none of the things that have been suggested that I can do have worked. Rennies done zip except reduce the need to burp. This is agony, I feel like someone is crushing my spine in the middle. It hurts to breath in deeply in my diaphragm too

Do I just go A&E at this point?

Seconding getting DH to burp you! Mine has become expert over the years (I have IBS) and doesn't seem remotely bothered by the enormous man-burps it produces, bless him Smile Lots of vigorous rubbing, back, shoulders and sides, you will feel what's working and what's not, sometimes patting shifts it too. It's not romantic that's for sure but oh, the relief when it works. If none of the advice you've had does the trick though I do think you need to consider it may not be wind and seek medical attention, really hope that's all it is and it moves soon Flowers
