Sue, when I was a nanny one of the girls I looked after has an appendectomy & the way they did it was to fill her up with gas. After the doctor told her the best thing to do to eliminate the gas was to walk. Sorry to hear about your wind problem but I hope it is over soon.
Might be an idea to google wind/gas causing foods cause certain things can gas you up pretty bad. Maybe avoid those foods for a while. HTH
