Lower Intestinal Gas Pain

There is nothing worse than lower intestinal gas pain. When it feels like little men in hobnail boots are trying to kick their way out of your body.

I get gas from stress all the time, and usually a bit of Maalox, and boom, relief from gas pains and I'm ready to rock. Not this time. I could feel the gas in my back, stomach and lower intestines. This was not a good thing.

Looking back on what I'd eaten the night before, it was apparent that this gas was triggered by an absolute disaster in eating choices. I ate a fresh salad with dinner of Jamaican beef patties, had an oatmeal cookie binge at 3 in the morning, and once I got gas pains the next day, I thought that maybe grits would help settle my stomach. HA!

My Mom had bought me Mylanta during one of her visits, and unfortunately I'd run out. So I was hitting the Maalox which wasn't working. We had one of those mega-bottles of Tums, which had never been open, so I took a few of those too.

Eventually, sweating, naseous, and doubling over from pain, I went to bed. I slept through most of yesterday, hence no blog posting. Today, it seems like the gas is stirring up again, but this time trying to escape through normal means.

The Tums and I are becoming best friends. I had rice and chicken for dinner last night and breakfast this morning. I have to admit I used a little teriyaki sauce to liven it up. Mom swears that carrots cooked with your food will absorb gas...just don't eat the carrots when you eat the beans or whatever gas provoking food. I thought about eating carrots, but am afraid of what the fiber would do to my digestive system after yesterday's debaucle with the grits.

I'd almost forgotten Mom bought another gas reliever which is somewhere in the absolute disaster that is our bathroom closet. I have to hunt that down. If it works hopefully I can get rid of more of the lower intestinal gas, very little gas is left in my back. But the sweats and this time, mild naseau are back. Is this never going to end?
