Question 1

how do i get gas out of my back?

Accepted Answer

Impossible anatomy: I am not sure where this is coming from, but there are no organs or spaces in your back that would create or hold onto gas.  I would advise re-asking the question with symptoms and not a diagnosis.

Question 2

Simethicone: Try "gas-x' a chemical that helps break gas in the GI tract.

Question 3

could you explain why do i get gas but i don't eat at all ?

Normal bacteria: in the GI tract make gas.

Question 4

how long does it take to get used to new gas permeable contacts?

Accepted Answer

It varies..: Varied answers from various eye care specialists. Generally I have a new rigid gas permeable (rgp) contact lens wearer, who is just commencing their use, to wear it for 4 hours the first day and then go up by one hour daily from that point on to a maximum of 12 hours. You want to avoid contact lens overwear syndrome where the eyes feel so comfortable with the rgps on that you do not break them in.

Question 5

how do you get gas out of your side? help please and add specific details..

Accepted Answer

Troublesome gas: Gas in the GI tract can be troublesome.  Part of the problem comes from the foods we eat. It may be helpful to keep a dietary journal and note which foods are most troublesome - such as beans, cabbage, brussel sprouts etc. Getting gas to mobilize out of the system may be facilitated with moderate exercise such as walking. Drinking plain water could help too. Good luck-I know this problem is a pain

Question 6

i get full of gas when nervous or approaching an exam etc , what can i take to stop this from happening? the gas is the main problem as it is v loud

Accepted Answer

Fast food: Sounds like a combination of anxiety and having to hold in your gas for a prolonged period of time.  A normal person will expel gas many times throughout the day, so frequently you probably don't realize it.  Are you eating before the test?  If so, you're anxiety may be causing you to eat too fast and swallow lots of air in the process.  Try not eating sooner than 2 hours prior to a test.

Question 7

why do infants get gas?

Accepted Answer

Multiple factors: Infants naturally produce gas as part of the digestive process.  Gas is a natural byproduct of both breast milk and formula.  Breastfed babies may also produce more gas according to what is in mom's diet.  Legumes, some vegetables and sometimes dairy products may lead to increased gas in your baby.  Babies also get gas from swallowing air during feeding. This is why burping is important.

Question 8

why do i get gas from champagne?

Accepted Answer

Because it's bubbly: Just about the only way for you to get gas inside your intestinal tract is to swallow it -- carbonated beverages have a lot of bubbles (gas) in them!

Question 9

aney way to get rid of gas?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Gas x has simethicone in it and strips are used for immediate effect. I do not think one works better than the other.

Also when you eat, do it slowly, chew your food well. Avoid too much of starches and carbohydrates.

Not aware of any dietary supplement helping gas. Probably fiber.

Question 10

i inhaled an unkown gas, should i get checked for cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: There are very few such chemicals -in gases hat can cause cancer. So i would not worry about so many gases which we are commonly exposed to. Just avoid excessive exposure to perochemicals (and of course the old culprits like chemical-war gases).
