A member asked:

I have a lot of built of gas i've been taking tums (calcium carbonate) and some fiber powder was helping a little but still feel gas in my chest so i just took a enema went to the bath room and seen a little bood in my stool still have gas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I am worried.: Blood in stool is always distressing to us.The enema may be the cause, but i can't be sure.I must recommend consultation with dr to find out.For gas:use simethicone, chew more slowly and exhale before swallowing food.
