Question 1

can eating vegatables cause gas pain?

Accepted Answer

Some certainly can..: Seemingly your belly is just not agreeing with certain veggies. Most people have some degree of disagreement with certain foods. If you have excessive gas/belching with eating certain vegetable, gas-x may help. Also, eat a bit less of that particular veg to see if it helps. Fortunately, there are plenty of other veggies around to choose--i like them too. Veggies up to a healthier you! good luck.

Question 2

what should i do for severe gas pain?

Accepted Answer

Few suggestions...: Try taking one or more of the following: simethicone, charco-caps, or probiotics.  Dietary insoluble fiber causes gas as does lactose if you are lactose intolerant.  A low-fodmaps diet (ibsfree.Net) can help control chronic gas. Good luck!

Question 3

Question 4

why am i having gas pain after appendectomy?

Normal: It is normal for the intestines to be bit uncoordinated after an abdominal operation with general anesthesia. This can cause some bloating, and eventually that all has to come out. There is nothing specific related to the appendectomy and "gas". Hope this helps!

Question 6

can you get gas pain anywhere in your abdomen ?

Gas: Yes you can.  Since gas pain occurs in the stomach and/or intestines you can feel this type of pain almost anywhere in the abdomen.  But you must also realize that there are many causes for abdominal pain that can be confused with gas pain.

Question 7

what can i do to relieve gas pain from my right shoulder?

Accepted Answer

Have it evaluated: If the pain truly originates in the abdomen, i would consider gall bladder disease. If the pain is not a "gas pain" then local shoulder problems can cause it. Have a doctor take a look.

Question 8

which works better for gas and gas pain: gas-x or charcoal caps?

Accepted Answer

Gas!: Gas-x will break up the large gas bubbles into smaller ones.  Charcoal tablets will prevent the production of gas from various things.  More importantly, you could consider decreasing the gas producing things in your diet, such as broccoli, beans, and cauliflower.  If you eat those things take beano.  Also, carbonated beverages can also make you very gassy. Good luck!

Question 9

what can i do for extreme gas pain in upper back, chest, and shoulders?

Accepted Answer

Maybe it's not gas: A person with "extreme gas pain" in the upper back and chest may have something other than gas. If it is gas, then taking an over-the-counter antacid/anti-gas medication should help quickly. But what if it is a heart attack or an aneurysm of the aorta? Those can be fatal, so a person with such symptoms should see his doctor or get checked at the emergency room right away.
