Hello millwood,

If you are having stomach cramps, you might have to pass gas. The meds you took might help. Be sure you are moving your bowels at least 1-2 times a day. Warm liquids will help, such as tea (decaffienated) or broth. Eat a light mild diet. Avoid spicy foods and fried foods. Lay on your left side with your knees bent towards your chest as this will encourage the passing of gas as well.

Sincerely,

Terry

ACCEPTED

Hi millwood,

I am glad you are moving your bowels regularly and eating a mild diet. Since the anti-gas medication is not working and you are unable to relieve the cramping then you will need to make an appointment with the doctor to be sure nothing else is going on. Your doctor can refer you to a gastroenterologist who can run some tests to determine a diagnosis or rule out underlying causes of your problem.

Regards,

Terry
