Severe gas pain- can’t stand up

If you lie on your right side sometimes you can get the gas to release.  Sometimes it works on the left side, too.  I usually try to go upside down when I have gas, though when it hurts like that, it might be too high in the GI tract to get it out that way.

Sorry you're going through this!  I have never had GasX work for me, but some people swear by it.

Agree with everything @@Sara Marie states above.

Gas x only works for me to the extent that it lessens (but not eliminate) the gas effects. It seems a little easier to pass and no explosive gas.

But it can be very painful at times and it has to be passed one way or other.

I was able to get home and lay down and it helped a lot- practically took the pain away. I just hate with this happens - I just never know when it will occur. And with my small child, I have to explain to her that mama needs to rest bc I have a tummy ache. She just doesn’t get it.

anyway, doc listened to my bowel sounds and she said stuff is still moving so no worry about an obstruction. So since that was her diagnosis, I decided to head home and tough it out. If it got horrible I could take an oxy but I didn’t need it.

I think back to prior to my surgery. Yea I was going a TON, but I didn’t have all these other problems… it’s like you swap one thing for another. At least I’m not going in my pants all the time. There’s that.

Going upside down- never tried that one. Like on an inversion table?

You can definitely use an inversion table for upside down stuff.  Low/no tech options include yoga poses: downward dog is one that qualifies and is pretty accessible to most people, however it doesn't work as quickly as handstand, headstand, and shoulder stand in my experience. 

Twists definitely help with overall digestion in my experience. Here is a list of yoga poses that are supposed to help with gas that are pretty easy to do unlike the completely upside down poses I mentioned above. https://www.health.com/fitness...-with-yoga#:~:text=1)%20Knees%20Hugged%20to%20Chest%20or%20%22Apanasana%22&text=You'll%20want%20to%20do,your%20knees%20to%20your%20chest.

I stand up, bend over like to touch my toes for about ten seconds then sit back down on the toilet. Generally I can feel the pressure and hear the gas gurgle on through. This helps me release it 99% of the time.

This!

"it’s like you swap one thing for another. At least I’m not going in my pants all the time. There’s that"

Otherwise I have no advice other than what was given. It hurts. And it sucks.

Agree 100%.

Have you thought about diet and what might be causing gas?
