pressure

Body: 

Does anyone have horrible gas pains after a bm? It seems that happens again and again and it has got me so frightened. It seems that the left side of my lower stomach is where I feel them the worse.

Can anyone relate to this problem and if you can, is there anything that can be done to improve it?

Thanks to all

Hi there,
How long has this been going on? it doesn't sound related to PoP, but could be related to your diet. Have you changed your diet recently? adding lots of fibre can add gas. for gas, hot water and lemon is good, fennel seeds boiled in cup of water for 5 minutes...they can all help.
with a bm thing are moving in your system, and if it is gas it should feel pretty clearly like gas (relief when it exits is a good indicator!). but, if you are worried it is something else and it is really freaking you out, always good to get it checked out so you can relax...

Hi Cowo, I agree with Kiki that it might just feel like gas, and not be gas. When I get constipated and have a BM I can feel my guts rearranging themselves afterwards. It eases off after a couple of minutes. It has happened since childhood. Firebreathing after a BM might be interesting to try?
