someone please help me understand this strange symptom

August 10, 2004

HI,

I posted this to the liver flush forum. Noone has been able to

understand this and I have never heard of this happening to anyone else.

Everyone says the same thing - that it's so stange. I know there is a

vet (Will ?) on this list so maybe he can help... I appreciate any

answers.

" Ok, I can't figure this out. When I refer to gas, I am talking about

belching.

I had indigestion for almost 30 years , since age 8. I had very frequent

spells of intense burping. I finally figured out last year it was

indigestion. So I had almost 30 years of producing a lot of gas. I now

take digestive enzymes, HCL and bile acids and don't produce this gas

generally.

But, if I do one of the following I will get gas:

a. dry skin brushing

b. massage of the abdomen

c. drinking carrot juice (later I realized it was probably the ionized

water I was drinking).

a. and b. are not related to food at all. Does anyone know where this

belching would come from ? Can gas travel to different parts of the body

? Is it possible I'm releasing gas from my liver when I do a and b. ? Or

from folds in the stomach ? I also have a relapse when I get this gas.

Any thoughts are appreciated - this is driving me crazy. "

Since writing this, I learned that gas bubbles can form in tissues:

So, what I know is:

a. I had long standing indigestion since age 8

b. this started after a long course of IV antibiotics

c. I got rid of the belching with enzymes, HCL and bile acids

d. I felt better when doing this but still quite ill

e. activities other than foods will bring on the belching, in fact, I'm

not bother by food at all now, so I think my supplements are ensuring

the food is broken down.

Based on that, I'm wondering if:

a. some of the gas created during all those years of fermentation could

have been absorbed into my body and tissues ?

b. could dry skin brushing be moving some of it out through my liver

into my intestines and up through my stomach (I know bile can travel

this route).

c. how can I get the gas out ?
