its me again! 😉

today i actually mentally had a great day! yay!

but i started having horrible gas pain in my stomach. hurts so bad. anyone get this? almost stabbing pain. i drank 2 cups of warm water with these ginger dried fruit in it to help calm my stomach but im wondering if it caused this horrible gas?

Hi Kim, if you used dried ginger, and it was treated with sulfur or metasulfite, then this could be giving you pain. I, have a sensitivity to dried fruit when it's treated with any chemicals, thus I have to buy organic dried fruit. If the pain is bad take an antacid and drink lots of water. This is what helped me.

Okay, just so you know stomach pain that refers to heart attacks comes on like it's heartburn. In the few years I worked in cardiology, I saw only one case and from what i recall it was localized upper abdominal pain. Ribcage area.

Now that you mention it's all over it sounds gastrointestinal. An antacid should help or if you have Bromelaine that helps too. Not sure where you're at but if you have Tums or Rolaids they 2 should help.

I get these all the time for  the last year. Food sensitivity. the only thing that helps is simethicone-gas pill, Gelusil-stomach pill, and laying down flat on a sturdy surface and manually moving the gas from my stomach down the intestines by hand motion. Pressing on points that are painful to the point of hearing a gurglig sound. I thought I gaot all this because of allergy after moving to Florida, but it might as well be peri.
