I think i have medical problem. can you help?

Question

ok now dont laugh because everyone does it. ok for the past week strait i have had constant gas really bad. like it hurts. what do i do. i mean that is not normal! is it?

Answer 1

No it's not normal.

It could be IBS Irritable Bowel syndrome, GERD Gastroesophageal Reflux, or other GI problems.

I suggest you see a MD.

In the meantime, try Gas X, it works really well.

Keep a food diary for 2 weeks to see what your triggers are.

Google:  mayo clinic>>diseases>>IBS

>>GERD

Good luck

Answer 2

You should pay attention to what you have been eating lately. For example, any sugar-free candies lately? Or did you suddenly increase the amount of fiber that you have been eating? Try to keep a food journal if that helps. If you can't figure out a possible trend, then you should think of consulting your doctor. If necessary, s/he would be the one to refer you to a specialist.  

Answer 3

No, that is not normal. You should see a gastroenterologist. It shouldn't hurt.

Answer 4

You can take gasx or beano if you need it. Gas can have alot to do with your diet. If you eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies - they cause lots of gas. also beans cause gas ofcourse. soft drinks and milk products also cause gas. so examine you diet... If this becomes bothersome then talk to your dr about it because there could be another issue causing you over abundance of gas..
