Getting down

I’ve been struggling with IBS-c with nausea and a lot of gas. Severe cramping and pain to the point I’m trembling. I took gas x and a few tums which took a slight edge off the gas. I put a heating pad on and now I’m having hot flashes. I usually use Papaya Enzymes to help but unfortunately don’t have any at home, and am in too much pain to drive. Any suggestions? Im begging for some help here lol

  1. Hi. I hope you got through the night! I have been there with all the same symptoms. I usually have to get up and walk to get the trapped gas moving out of my body and it doesn't happen quickly. I still have not gotten my constipation under control so I will use Milk of Magnesia which calms my stomach down while I wait for it to work. I too use a heating pad. It does help.

    1. Same for me with all these symptoms but gas-x works for me as well as eating very slowly and take a digestive enzyme before my evening meal. Also certain exercises will help to rid your bid you if excess gas…
