Here are some...: Is feeling gas-trapping new or old, periodic or recurrent or constant? For a 16-y-o young, gas-trapping in bowel is very uncommon except someone very inactive + drug abuse + poor dieting.

Gas: Usually, this "gas" is in the stomach, just beneath the diaphragm. Using something that would diminish gas production such as gas-x or digel can help you burp and relieve the pressure. If this problem persists, however, a visit to the gastroenterologist is in order.

Accepted Answer

: Sinus bradycardia, (as long as the slow heart rate doesn't drop into the 40's or cause symptoms) &amp;sinus arrhythmia are common &amp; not serious in young people. In addition to avoiding gassy foods&amp; beverages, take simethicone 1/2 hour after meals to prevent gas buildup. Drinking hot water breaks down gas &amp;lets it pass

down&amp; out the rectum. Don't force burping as you'll only swallow air. See MD as ne

Question 7

how to get rid of trapped gas in your back?

Accepted Answer

1st, why RU gassy?: Feeling full of "gas" may reflect malabsorption of food (like gluten, lactose), intake of poorly digested food, or choosing foods known to promote gas (beans, fizzy drinks).  Sometimes its more complicated--a stomach emptying too slowly, bacterial overgrowth syndrome, delayed intestinal function, partial obstruction from any cause, infection, rectum problems, and pelvic pathology outside the gut.

Question 8

how to get rid of trapped gas after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Trapped Gas: The best way to get rid of "trapped gas" after surgery is to get up often and to walk around. Otherwise, an over the counter medication such as simethicone would likely help.

Question 9

what are the best foods and snacks to eat when trying to get rid of trapped gas?

Accepted Answer

: Eat broths and soft solids with no fiber. No gassy beverages. Don't force yourself to belch as you'll only keep swallowing more air. Drink hot water and apply heat to your abdomen which breaks down gas and helps it move down the intestinal tract and out the rectum.

Question 10

why does simethicone get rid of trapped gas?

Accepted Answer

Helps break up bubbl: Used for bloating pressure or discomfort and breaks up bubbles in gut, given after meals Simethocone is a adjunct in teatment of bloating, and frankly I have not had much succcess with this in my practice.
Mainly because underlying factors such as aerophagia, belcihng, avoiding gaseous foods, smoking, chewing gum have to be stopped, before seeking help with medicines, which are mostly ineffective.
