Magical cures for trapped wind?!

As above, I’m desperate 😫 so bloated and uncomfortable and just cannot muster up the fart I desperately need 😂

I’ve tried peppermint tea, yoga poses, bicycle legs, buscopan, drinking a fizzy drink quickly, jumping up and down…nothing!

Please tell me your remedies because I am not having fun.

Have taken two Deflatines…waiting for the orchestra to arrive any minute now 😅🎷🎺

Well now I'm invested. Is it possible to programme a fart alert on my phone so I know when it's gone through?

Also - following … for a … friend …

Heat helps me.

Come to my house, eat a meal of scrambled eggs and toast and then walk past me with your arse at my face level as I sit on the sofa. Seems to work for DH Envy

Windeeze. Although the 'disperses trapped gas bubbles discreetly' is a load of fucking shite as I found out 😅

Have a long hot bath immediately above a room in which genteel relatives are having tea and cake with the vicar.

A brisk walk always works for me!!!

I always remember reading on here that someone's great aunt's constipation cure was to sit on the toilet, raise one leg above the other and say 'murder!' Grin.

Maybe raise a cheek and try saying that!

Get on the floor, knees and elbows on the floor. Lower your arms onto the floor and raise your bum. Try to lower your tummy towards the floor keeping your bum raised.

Thank you for this. Many years ago I used to do this, I suffered daily with trapped wind. My fiancé at the time lived with me and thought this was just the most bizarre thing ever. He called it my farting exercises. If we ever went out to anyone's house overnight he would ask if I intended to do my fart exercises before bed 🤣

I had this problem all the time before I found out I was coeliac. Now I don’t have this issue ever unless it’s accidentally in my food.

would really encourage OP and PP to underhand what’s caused this bloating pain, it’s not normal and not something we have to live with!

Loveheart sweets

I had no idea lovehearts had an alternative purpose! The company behind them are looking for their biggest fan for an anniversary thing. I do hope lots of trapped wind ladies enter

WetBandits · 06/07/2023 18:24

Well, the Deflatine worked. A bit too well perhaps because I thought I was going to shit my pants on the drive home 😂😂 if anyone needs me, I’ll be in the bathroom rocking

The recovery position is a good one too.

I think I’ll need it after the horrible evening I’m having in the bathroom 🥴

I suffer bad with trapped wind and distension
