[quote=Anonymous]Hi - I'm not sure what is causing this but I'm having fairly regular gastrointestinal upset (about 1x month). It lasts about 24 hours. It starts with stomach pain in bed a few hours after I've fallen asleep, then I get really bloated (it looks like I am pregnant, my abdominal skin is VERY tight and the bloating is pretty uniform from right below my rib cage to right above my groin). I have severe gas that turns into belching and flatulence - with the belching I have a foul taste and even get some undigested food that comes up  in my belches. After about 4-6 hours of gas I finally start to have bowel movements. I have semi-diarrhea all day and finally at bedtime I start to feel better.

I can't be around anyone during these episodes because the gas is terrible and embarrassing and unpleasant.

I've tried activated charcoal and that helps a little but was wondering if anyone had any tricks or advice or meds they could recommend that would get rid of the gas? I can handle having to run to the bathroom but I'm in this impossible situation with the gas that I can't be around family, I can't go to the office - when this happens I lose a whole day in my bedroom.[/quote]
