OK, well, plain and simple-I've had the worse gas ever these last 3 days. I don't know why. They're those hot, smelly farts. I'm really afraid to go to school. I can't go out to get anything, so are there any suggestions to make this gas go away!?!?!
Sabine answered Sunday March 18 2007, 1:18 pm: Regarding the advice you received to eat a lot of veggies, I don't know which planet that fellow is on, but the *better* our diet, the more gas we get for the most part. Yeast may have something to do with gas, but there's also the matter of cruciferous vegetables, like cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli, and cucumbers also, which make things much worse.
Gas-X or something with the ingredient simethicone should help. If you can't find that at home and can't go buy it, I would try some Pepto Bismol.
orphans answered Sunday March 18 2007, 12:52 pm: gas is caused by a bad diet. now im not saying you have a bad diet, but yeast (bread, pasta.. etc) causes a lot of gassy-ness. try eatnig only vegetables or fruits for as much as you can today, and only drink water.... it been proven like actually: vegans and other people that dont eat yeast (Like my mom) are not gassy. my mom never farts, but she used to, and then she went on the diet...

hm... have you tried going potty? that might help. maybe you ate something that made you this way. chili would do it.
try Gas-X or zantac 150 / 75. those always help. you might burp a lot.. .same with alka seltzer. they're probably in your house cause they're common medicines.
if you try one of the above (with the correct dosage) and it still hasn't gone away by later today, i'd consider drinking a lot of water (do that anyway) and maybe tell your parents if it doesn't go away / gets worse.
