gas

Avatar f tn hello- 2 years ago I had a small bowel resection because of numerous obstructions. Recently my stomach looks 9 months pregnant, and have gas pockets in upper stomach after eating. Please respond if experienced similar symptoms and what I could be wrong.
Avatar f tn I had retinal hole repair in August 09. Gas bubble in the eye the whole nine yards. The hole closed. Went back to the clinic 6 weeks ago complaining of worse vision. Found out I have tiny fluid pockets behind the eye. My doctor said these are hard to resolve this long after surgery. I took Navanac drops and prednisolone acetate drops 4 times a day for 6 weeks. Had my eye scanned this week. No improvement to the fluid pockets. Doctor suggested getting steroids injected in that eye area.
Avatar f tn Straining is a good way to bring on more attacks and more pockets. I think the miralax helps food stay out of the pockets too. Try it, my GE recommended it. Please too make sure you don't have food sensitivities like milk or wheat. I believe allot of my problems stem from food intolerance to grains. If I eat wheat, it comes out just like it went in. Foods that don't digest can be a cause of inflammation. Please make sure you don't have thyroid issues either.
Avatar n tn Alka seltzer releases gas very well, especially those painful kind. I used to have that. The gas is from being empty for the surgery, so air pockets form with nowhere to go, plus the procedure itself kind of shocks the system and makes for oddball digestion for a few days. Also, a soft diet for a couple days will ease the digestion back into full gear.
Avatar f tn This is because of carbon dioxide gas being pumped into the colon forms air pockets that causes bloating, abdominal cramping and gas pains. You should take a walk daily to encourage passage of this gas through flatulence. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
1544786 tn?1293504543 Simethicone is supposed to break up gas pockets so you can more easily expel them- how does it make you worse- that must be awful? The fiber regime definitely can give you gas when gulped down with all that fluid, where you likely (if you are like me) ingest a bunch of air too! You might ask your doctor (maybe a different one who actually listens better) about miralax or a generic of it like clear-lax.
Avatar m tn We all get little pockets of gas caught between some joints. Ever notice people cracking their knuckles? The clicking sound is gas being released. My neck clicks only when I move it to the left. Everyone is different. I wouldn't worry about it unless you start "popping" all over. By the way, some people pop when they take an antihistimine. It causes lots of gas in the joints in some people. Hope this information was helpful.
Avatar m tn MY GASTROLOGIST SEEMS TO THINK THE PAIN IS GAS AND THE BLOOD IS ALSO RELATED TO MY GASTRITIS AND DIVITICULITIS. I AM A LITTLE MORE CONCERNED HOWEVER. SHOULD I SEEK A SECOND OPINION OR DISCUSS THESE CONCERNES WITH MY PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR? I FEEL THE PAIN MORE WHEN I EAT. I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SEVERE HOMORRHOIDS AS WELL. I AM ON MULTIPLE PRESCRIPTIONS AS WELL THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD COULD BE AFFECTING MY HEALTH. THESE INCLUDE: 1) LEVETIRACETAM 1,000 MG. 3X DAY/ 2) DIVALPROEXE 500 MG.
306389 tn?1213487696 From where I come from, if you have had quite a number of surgeries, you will get air pockets in your stomach and hence you would find you have bloatedness in your tummy due to the air/gas. It is always recommendable that after a surgery most people in my country drink ginger to relieve the air pockets/or what we call "wind in the stomach". After giving birth we are also asked to consume alot of ginger to relieve the wind in the stomach as well which also causes flatulence.
Avatar f tn at 10 weeks your uterus is still tucked under you pelvic bone so that wouldnt be pushing up that high and it isnt the baby either........yet, lol! Could be pockets of gas. That can be painful!! Talk to your doctor at your next visit, I honestly dont really know what it could be but be sure to bring it up to your doctor. Best of luck!!
Avatar n tn If there was something moving ON your stomach you would be able to see it. If you were pregnant it would show up on a blood test, urine test and ultrasound ESPECIALLY considering you would have to be approx 21 weeks pregnant. If you have had all of these tests that are negative and you are still convinced you are pregnant I suggest you seek mental health counseling. The only thing you should feel moving in your stomach is gas anything else is all in your head. There is no medical explanation.
Avatar n tn You might try taking simethicone as the bottle directs and see if it helps, in case it is gas pockets getting caught (I had this problem upper right abdomen as a teen). The gall bladder is also on the right side.
518031 tn?1295575374 One week before President Obama took the oath of office gas here in my part of Maryland was $1.39 a gallon. Today 4 days after the even gas prices here are now $1.85 per gallon. Now before someone goeas nuts i am not blaming President Obama for this problem. The business news is all reporting that oil speculators(merrill Lynch being the largest buyers) are buying up all this oil and running the price sky high again. Barrell of oil was down to $33.00 a barrell..now it is up over $45.
9442948 tn?1406816451 I do laundry and find and hear rocks in the dryer or the washer it drives me crazy he does natural gas services and goes threw so many pants it's insane and comes home full of mud after I clean all day I make him take his clothes off outside besides his boxers haha
Avatar n tn Is it possible to close periodontal pockets of 4mm using regular toothbrushing and flossing?
Avatar n tn the problem is, I have the full face mask, but I am a mouth breather, so I get air pockets that feel they are in my intestines!! I can actually press on my belly and bring the air up. Sometimes the air gets suck on the way up in my chest and is very uncomfortable. Wakes me out of my sleep. I just want one good night sleep................
Avatar f tn When we are born the vitreous in the back of the eye is a gel (like jello just out of refrigerator). As we age it liquifies like Jello left at room temperature (the process is called syneresis). liquid vitreous collects in the gel (fluid pockets). You don't see the pockets but if protein or debris is in them they produce "floaters" There is not good treatment for floaters. Heavy duty surgery carries unacceptable risk and lasers have proved unsatisfactory.
Avatar f tn O ok I no people keep sayin they was induced from low fluid cus last week I went to the docs on thurs and had a good amount all 4 pockets were open and today I gt too low pockets bt it's nt as bad to. Induced for yet bt they. Check again Thursday I'll make sure. I'm prepared for Wat ever and I'm peeing a awful lot do I loose fluid that way as well??
4268628 tn?1375041176 I had it too. It can be gas you don't realize you have. Or it can be your baby already head down moving her head around. My son did that to me felt funny and it also felt like gas. My Dr will see me tomorrow morning and I will ask him what he thinks. And let you know what he says.
Avatar f tn There is a product you can buy over the counter that will help also called GasX, it contains Simethicone, Some who suufer with Gastritus take this, due to a problem with passing large pockets of gas or air that gets trapped in the stomach and intestines, this product breaks it up into smaller bubbles and allows the system to pass it much easier.
Avatar m tn t contract, the empty parts may become filled with gas pockets, a very dangerous condition. So this contraction is a necessary defensive maneuver. But what the body gains in one respect it loses in another. That's because this contraction causes increased tension in the vessels. In other words, high blood pressure.
Avatar n tn Any help on what I should do??? About a week ago I woke up at 1am with sharp pains/gas and could not get comfortable or go back to sleep, the following day the pain persisted and got so bad I had to go to urgent care. The Dr. did an x-ray and found a large air pocket below my left rib cage as well as more air pockets and stool in my entire abdominal region. He prescribed a bottle of Magnesium Citrate to loosen me up.
Avatar f tn My uterus was ok but the lining was 5mm with pockets of fluid of undetermined significance. I am scheduled for a coloscopy and endometrial biopsy in two days and my doctor said she will evaluate it then. I am still waiting for blood work to come back. Can something like this come from hpv? Can it be cancerous. My ovaries were fine. I can't seem to find any information on this.
Avatar n tn I odnt have anymore white spots although I use to get the for about 2-3 months off and on not severe just one or two pus pockets would pop up for a while and eventually go away. no I just have nasuea, swollen glands(is pea sized swollen????) any recommandations would be great I have been to tons of docs, and no answer please any suggestions on what it could be or things that I could look into.
Avatar f tn A relative has gone out of remission from ovarian cancer and says that her doctor explained that there is no organ involvement as of yet but there are pockets of cancerous fluid. Can anyone better explain this to me? Thanks!!!
