To look for your best trapped wind treatment

[silvershark22]

To be looking for your best trapped wind treatment. Have woken in agony and can now understand why babies scream.

2 Rennie's (and maybe 2 more if the first 2 don't work!) and then DH essentially winding me like a baby, rubbing and patting my back I have IBS so it happens to me a lot unfortunately, I can sometimes shift it myself by standing and rubbing my stomach, rib area and what bits of my back I can reach but it shifts quicker if DH is there to do it. I even get it in my shoulder sometimes, god knows how it ends up there! Lemonade or fizzy water might be worth a try if you have it, just a few sips though, too much might make it worse. Hope it moves soon, I know how painful it can be.

Thanks dont have any wind meds hot waterbottle helping a bit.

Lay on your back, bring your knees up to your char as much as u can
Wrap arms round
Rock a little from side to side

Chest
Your chest - not char!
Dunno where your char is?

If you don't have any meds in, I use Windezze, DH swears by a cup of boiling water with a teaspoon of sugar. Horrible pain, hope it passes soon.

Lots of cups of hot water. In between sip, put warm cup on sore bit.
Look up yoga poses for trapped wind.
I find child's pose with my bum pointing in the air successfully sometimes.
Rennies.
Lying in your tummy doing gentle circular movements lower half.

Haven't found a quick solution yet, but doing all/a combination of these things shifts it eventually.

Alternate what @Tilllly says with bicycling your legs, and do these yoga poses: www.forksoverknives.com/wellness/best-yoga-poses-relieve-gas-bloating/

Poor you, it's miserable! Hope it passes soon.

Peppermint tea or ginger tea
Gentle tummy massage
Hot water bottle

Movement - a few stretches etc - is good to get the wind out.

Deflatine! If none then hot herbal tea, ginger preferred.

Drink a can of fizzy pop (coke,lemonade). The bubbles help break up the wind and it will come out.

This, and it can take time.

Get your bum high - hot air rises! So any sort of variation of downward dog or on all fours but with your chest and head on the floor so your bum is in the air! Then rock, sway, massage your tummy until it releases.

I take Buscopan, Gaviscon, two paracetemol, and drink something fizzy. Then I walk around inside my flat until it starts to ease off - nothing else works (I've tried most of the usual suggestions). Sometimes it takes only a few minutes if I catch it in time, otherwise it can take a while.

Hot water or peppermint tea. Walk up and down the stairs, rub your abdomen clockwise

1/2 tsp of bicarbonate of soda (that I use for baking) dissolved in water. Works every time and within 20/30 mins.

Thanks have taken some buscipan and found some infracol. Am now taking pepermint tea

@AnotherCountryMummy this definitely works!

Hot bath, hot water bottle then get someone to get to Boots and get you some Simeticon gel.

My mum used to say burned toast.

A hot bath wind normally starts going after you step out.
A fizzy drink.

Hoping this is a one-off for you, but just throwing it out there... I experienced really painful night time 'wind' for weeks and it turned out to actually be gallstones. If if persists, do get checked out by a doctor.

Thanks dont think its gallstones as the pain is lowerdown but is really quite intense. Going to try a bath

Peppermint capsules are brilliant

If you're in bed , get out and walk around the house. Don't lie there.

Drink cooled boiled water.

Please get checked out I had very similar painful++ symptoms and was convinced it was my gall bladder. I made an appt with my GP and was prescribed omeprazole and advice on diet - after a couple of weeks no more incidences. Oh and not my gall bladder😊

Wild dose tablets are great. Try to move about if you can. You have my sympathy, it really can be agony.
