Common Questions and Answers about What causes gas on the stomach

gas

Avatar f tn Beans pass through the * small intestine and arrive in the large intestine undigested which causes flatulence (gas) to occur, also, beans contain more indigestible carbohydrates than most foods. Raffinose is a sugar found in mushrooms, beans and in smaller amounts in some vegetables and grains. The human body lacks the enzyme called alpha-galactosidase to digest this sugar, so it ends up in the large intestine undigested which causes flatulence (gas) to occur.
Avatar f tn Im a 40 year old woman and for numerous years have suffered from severe diarrhea and gas with odd pain sometimes in and around my whole stomach area. In the last year i have had a few episodes of constipation and have found that when i do any food that has been eaten that day causes me to be sick and the food is undigested and is very hard to bring up as its all merged together with no liquid to help it.

Avatar n tn I was told in Januray 9, 2009, that i was diagnosed with fatty liver. I've had ever since last year. I told them that i've been having sharp pains in my stomach and they told me they didn't know what it is. They took a sonagram and found bubbles in my stomach. I constantly stay constipated. The doctors gave me Docusate Sodium so that i can use the bathroom. I don't know what are the sharp pains in my stomach are caused by. And i need you help. Can you tell me what it is?
Avatar f tn Exercise is the only thing that helps me with gas but I've been massaging my stomach lightly which has been helping too!
Avatar f tn t digesting like they use too it causes heart burn as well as built up gas which is why half of us are always constipated lol. My gas cramps came on strong this morning and as soon as I got up and moved around so did the gas!!!

2131426 tn?1361419643 Hello and hope you are doing well. Your symptoms of acidity, abdominal pain and shortness of breath could all be attributed to GERD, (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease), where the acid contents of the stomach come up into the esophagus. Since medications don't seem to be helping much why don't you try life style measures. Take frequent small meals. Eat dinner about two hours before sleeping. Elevate the head end of the bed.
Avatar n tn I know it is gas because when i hit my side or pound on my back i can create a burp. the gas is very painful and can travel through my body to different parts causing very strange symptoms. I can create a burp within a few seconds by hitting my back with my hand ( like burping a baby) The gas can be in my side, middle of my back, hips, etc,, sometimes it feels like my lungs hurt but i can tell it is gas.
Avatar n tn I would suggest getting this evaluated by a primary care physician/ internist initially and depending on the cause diagnosed/ suspected, it can be managed accordingly or specialist care may be sought. Hope this is helpful. Take care!
341551 tn?1266980730 What is the Cause of Pain right under your rib cage? What the heck could that be from?
Avatar m tn There are some bacteria in the gut that produce hydrogen sulfide gas. Sometimes this gas is produced in such huge quantities that the sulfide oxidase enzyme in the wall of the gut is not able to oxidize all of it and convert it to thiosulfate. This gas has a smell of rotten eggs. You need to cut down food items that contain sulfites. Most of this gas comes from sulfites a person consumes, which is a part of all preservatives.
Avatar n tn t think this was a side effect of the new BP medicine they suggested I go to the E/R. Once again the EKG, blood work and chest x-rays were normal. After this E/R trip I had the stress/echo test and it was normal too. My BP medicine was changed too to Diovan 80mg. This stress test was done in July 2008. I've been fine on the B/P medicine except with an occassional back pain or two.
Avatar f tn Could this be related to her operation or the fact that she flew overseas within a week of her operation. Also any ideas on what she can do.?
Avatar f tn ever since childhood ive had gas issues, but now as an adult I am either unable to sleep or im waking up early in the morning in so much pain I can barely move because of the gas and discomfort in my stomach. so bad it makes me vomit. the only way the pain goes away is if I take a hot bath, vomit or go to the bathroom. what could this be?
Avatar f tn gallstones can cause the issues you speak of even the heart palpitations. What makes the heart race when you have stomach issues is that the heart and stomach are on the same artery. So, a lot of times people who have heart problems cant eat much because of the issues it causes and people with gastritis, acid refluc, etc get sick and nauseous have a racing heart. Yes, it's weird but it's true.
Avatar n tn 8 weeks in, and no matter what I eat, or when, it causes stomach pain. Not your typical nausea or queasiness. Any advice?
Avatar n tn dazy401, I too am experiencing the same problem. Maybe we can shed some light on eachother's situation. Here's how mine started and where I am today. BTW, I have no history of any health problems. Out of the blue 2 wks ago, I started getting bloated and short of breath. It continued until it got worse 3 days later when I started to panic because I couldn't breath without taking a deep breath every few seconds. Chest X-Ray, EKG and D-Dimer tests all came back negative.
Avatar m tn The doctor who did the endoscopy said that my food valve is bit wider than normal and gas being produced in the stomach is coming up and causing the pain. After that I went to naturopathy doctor, who treated this only with water. He asked me to stop eating food completely and start drinking water continuously and slowly. This cured 80% the problem in 3 days. Again I have started eating spicy foods and used to get the pain often.
