I had shocking wind pain... like, doubled over, tears in my eyes kind of pain. It actually started to stress me out, because it wouldn't go away.

De-Gas rocks. I used to take it in the morning with my vitamins and then again when I got home from work and it really helped.

I'll second walking around too. I know it's hard at work, but sitting down was not helping at all.

I would take some Benefibre as well, even though I didn't really have any issues in the constipation department... it did help though, made sure everything was nice and regular.

Soda water with some lemon / lime helped with the burping and helped release some of the air too. Even now, if I start to feel the pain and I'm out and about, I'll get a small coke from McD's or have a mouthful of DH's softdrink just to try and shift it.

I hope you feel better soon hun.

Thanks guys. Definitely going to try the cider/water thing when I get home and the lying on each side, thank you for the suggestions.

I got myself some de-gas and I've just popped a couple - the walk at lunch helped! Nic - did you take one or two each time?

I thought I could do without the maternity clothes for a bit longer but it seems that if this bloating continues I'll need to break em out soon - these suit pants are just too tight I think!

I think I only took one at a time, except the day it was really bad, I took 2 then.

As soon as I stopped trying to squish my tummy into normal clothes and started wearing maternity clothes, the pain eased too.

I hope you're feeling better this afternoon x

Thank you my friend, I do too... do they take long to work?

My problem is that my mat pants are not in my possession ATM... might be time to get them back...

When I had bad gas, I was advised to walk and do some gentle yoga. Avoid foods which make you gassy like, beans, cabbage, onions, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus and corn; fruits like pears, apples, prunes and peaches; milk, ice cream and cheese; and carbonated drinks. Drink lots of water, slowly (particularly warm water with the juice of half a lemon). Eat small frequent meals, slowly. Wear loose comfy clothes. And try some peppermint tea, it has a relaxing and soothing effect on the gut.
