Horrible gas pain
Posted: 05-25-08 09:20am

Ok i woke up this morning with what i thought was cramps so of course i kind of freaked out a bit and ive been awake. But wi realized that its my stomach hurting (its above my bellybutton) but holy cow does it ever hurt! I'm pretty sure its gas pain because it doesn't hurt lower down in my abdomen, my stomach is making gurgling noises and if i pass gas then it feels better. Any way to relieve this? Oh if it helps i also have colitis

Drink lots of water and fart. Have you tried drinking something fizzy like coke or rootbeer to cause some belching? That might help also. Good luck.

Thanks ingi. Got some club soda and relaxed for awhile but nothing helped so i called my doctor. She said it sounded like my first pregnancy colitis attack (great so i have more of these to look forward to?!) and gave me the ok to use a heating pad on the lowest setting on my upper stomach. God i've never been in so much pain.

Apparently the attacks you get during pregnancy are much worse due to the hormones then they are pre-pregnancy....so I guess i'm going to just have to grit and bear it.
Note to self: Never eat fajitas again
