    Lay down with your feet raised a little if possible, and rub your tummy gently, in a clock-wise direction. This should help ease the gas through your system. It is horrid, very painful, so hope it goes soon!

    Peppermint

    I suffer with IBS and peppermint tea / capsules are excellent for trapped wind and stomach cramps

    Hope you feel better soon

    Sipping warm / hot water will help.
    I wanna be in the room where it happens
  • Start by getting into the same position as a dog would stand and then lower your arms so you are resting on your elbows with your bottom in the air - works wonders and was suggested by the hospital after I had a laperoscopy (they will you with air/gas on purpose - evil people!! :D )

    For trapped wind or bloated tummy try 1 tea spoon of bicarbonate of soda mixed with about 50ml of warm water, drink it down in one and the wind should soon start to disperse.

    If it's still sore tomorrow go to the doctor. My friend thought she had trapped wind but it was a urinary infection.

    I would suggest visiting your local pharmacy first before trying to make an appointment.
