Does any1 else suffer with really bad trapped wind and bloating?!
I've been really bad over the last couple of weeks now i know its my own fault but i'm sorry i just can't let rip and they end up building up and its so uncomfortable i could cry!?
I had started wondering whether this and the bloating could be anything to do with a lack of af but i think that might be a long stretch?!
Does any1 have any great ideas to stop it hurting other than walking around trumping...i've tried taking windeze.......

*blushes* god i'm so ebaressed!
When mine gets really painful though I take a remegel wind relief tablet, which works pretty quickly (I find these better than the windeze ones), and if I've run out of those I find lying on the floor on my stomach makes it a loss less uncomfortable!!!
Hope this helps, Caroline xxx

It was me that recommended the Acidopholus (sp?) from Holland & Barratt (or healthfood store).
Bascially it is concentrated good bacteria that regulates all the bad stuff that causes digestive problems, it's not expensive but really works and it better than just the Actimel type yoghurts and drinks.
That should really help your body to balance itself so you don't have any more discomfort.

If you're eating too much green veg this will cause terrible wind so you might need to cut down. Also sugar can cause it and obviously spicy food, it all upsets your digestive system and the good/bad bacteria balance.
I really hope you find something that works as I know how extremely painful and uncomfortable this can be!
God i'm gonna be holland and barrets favourite customer at this rate!!!
I'm not eating a lot of sugar or spicy foods particulry but i salads have increased two fold i'm either having salad for lunch and dinner but in differnt forms- so could this be whats causing it?
Could it be something that you are eating. I know I darent drink apple juice or I would have to come with a health warning!!!! & if I ate too much wheat I would be really bloated & uncomfortable.
Hope youre feeling a bit better soon x
If you speak to one of the ladies (or men) in H&B they're pretty helpful and will be able to advise you the best thing to take, there's no point in spending a fortune on lots of different products at once. Maybe try one thing for a few days and if that doesn't work try something else.
Hope you feel better soon xxx
