Re: Abdominal spasms/Gas pressure to Keri

[Guest guest]

> I am not sure if this is related but often I have intense gas

pressure and pain in the loop of bowel over the pancreas. This

started after my first celiac block. It also caused terrible

diarrhea....

This gas pressure if not relieved quickly, causes increased

pancreas pain, I believe just because of the physical pressure it

exherts on the pancreas.

Keri,

I too, suffer from the gas pressure in the loop of the bowel, it

causes pain enough to be confused with my pseudocyst pain,

since one pseudocyst is located very close to this loop. A

colonscopy already showed that my colon was very " contorted

and redundant " ....haha, no foolin " !

Then my GI did a bowel x-ray just last week just to check for any

obstructions in the loop, because the radiologist mentioned

there " may " be something there. It turned out just to be a cloud

of gas - but yes, it does cause additional pain. He prescribed

Prevacid and Zantac for me to take daily to help ease this. So far

I haven't seen any improvement, but it's only been a week.

Have you been given anything to help ease the gas pressure?

With hope and prayers,

Now this is not a joke, but truly what I find works for me. Then I

get on my bed on my hands and knees and slowly lower my

head and chest until they rest on the bed. This puts your rear end

hilariously up in the air. I rock back and forth and side to side for

as long as it takes to get the gas moving on out. Now isn't this

the kind of advice you can't get at Web MD sites??

Keri,

Don't laugh, one of the questions on the pain questionaire that

my GI gave me went something like this.....

" Is your pain relieved by:

Getting on all fours on the floor, resting your arms and head

down on the floor and rocking side to side with your rear in the

air "

Honestly, truly......that was one of the positions, along with all the

others like laying in the fetal position, sitting bent over at the

waist, bringing your chest down to your knees, etc.

Ha, ha, ha......I answered NO to the getting on all fours and

putting arms and head down, etc.....just because I hadn't ever

tried that one! He frowned when he read the NO answer, I guess

he expected a YES! So I believe you.

With hope and prayers,
