What should I do. I'm hoping for natural solutions.

On all 4s with head to the ground and bum stuck in the air. I also rock my pelvis whilst doing it!

Are you sure it isn't migraine

@Whippet

When my mum had terribly trapped gas after an operation the nurses told her to bring her knees up - feet together on the floor and the move her legs (knees together) from side to side.

A cup of warm water works a treat for my DC when they've had trapped wind. Also yes to peppermint.

Gaviscon and rennies etc only suitable for over 12s

My DD is 12 and has suffered from chronic constipation and gas pain for years now. Clockwise tummy massage usually helps her.

If it's an ongoing thing I would seek GPS advice though when they open after the weekend.

I have had this often and it is really very painful. I've found a hot drink helps get the wind (and sometimes other...), moving.

There is a "hilarious" post in Facebook with a man sunning his butthole this position is fab for trapped gas as my son demonstrated to me after seeing it blew the cats whiskers about a bit

Get him to kneel down on the floor and then lean forward until his head touches the floor in front on him - head will be by his knees. Things will start working their way out within a few minutes

@GreenLeafTurnip

When I was pregnant I used to get on hands and knees and out my head on the floor with my bum as high in the air as I could. Usually shifted something!
What do you reccomend.

If he’s still got trapped wind after four months, then yes, GP.

DismantledKing · 25/08/2021 21:41

Well, this is weird

PuppyMonkey · 25/08/2021 21:42

I was about to recommend Gaviscon but I see I already did that in April.Grin

“There is a "hilarious" post in Facebook with a man sunning his butthole this position is fab for trapped gas as my son demonstrated to me after seeing it blew the cats whiskers about a bit”- that made me fart with laughter- the cat whiskers bit!

WhoNeedsaManOfTheWorld · 25/08/2021 21:45

GrinI hope he's farted or burped since April

GCAcademic · 25/08/2021 21:45

That is a long time to have trapped wind.

HadEnoughOfBears · 25/08/2021 21:48

It's been 4 months!
A&E now OP!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

TheSpottedZebra · 25/08/2021 21:48

Is this someone who just really likes ladeez talking about farts?
So odd.

GeorgiaMcGraw · 25/08/2021 21:49

OP please tell us he managed to fart since April? Grin

SilverTimpani · 25/08/2021 21:51

This is the weirdest thread ever

Caaarrrl · 25/08/2021 21:51

The most annoying thing is that OP cannot spell recommend correctly.

Notavegan · 25/08/2021 21:54

I had terrible trapped wind last night. I'm now waiting to have my appendix out

LordoftheDanceSaidHe · 25/08/2021 21:54

Tummy massage, all fours, peppermint oil.
