Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi Will, It's actually not stress or anxiety or an emotional factor because there is a very specific trigger - dry skin brushing or massage, and that is it. It's like clockwork with those 2 things. I just want to understand why it comes with those 2 things. Thanks for the suggestions. > -----Original Message----- > From: Will Winter [mailto:holistic@...] > Sent: August 10, 2004 12:05 PM > gallstones > Subject: Gaseous Theories > > , the extreme belching is something that I have had and I would > label it > part of a GB COLIC episode.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 The only time I get belching like you describe is when I've eaten something I'm allergic/sensitive to. Have you shown your doctor/ND the exact movements you make when you do the dry skin bruching or the massage? If it isn't simply a matter of relaxing yourself enough via the massage to allow the gas to come out, then perhaps someone watching you move could come up with a better reason.
