Hi Jerry,

 

Please check to make sure that it isn't something like gall bladder (also

gives a feeling of fullness and pain, and the feeling that you could burp it.

but you can't.) I use ginger for tummy upsets, but I have never had anything

like this, and I was thinking about gingerale, but you don't need the

additional effervescense...I made candied ginger last week, I sure wish I

could get you some...if you open a can of gingerale, take a spoon and beat

the bubbles out until it is flat, that may help.

 

..sending you prayers and strength.

 

love, beth

Jerry,

we have a kind of traditional household medicine for this - sauerkraut

juice! Yes, the Germans were not called Krauts for nothing! <g>

To be precise, it's the juice of cabbage fermented in lactic acid,

with sea salt and lots of ground caraway seed added. Works wonders in

cases of too much gas, and is very healthful to boot. Often used for

fasting, cancer prevention and treatment, treatment of ulcers etc.

I don't know where you're based at, but you could always try to do a

web search to buy this juice online. One that I found would be

www.sauerkraut.com which is a US-based supplier - not a health food

store, but it looks OK.

Hurry and get well soon!

Michael

l'm badly in need of help from any quarter. l'm currently

experiencing a most acute case of gastritis from my energy, and given

my inability to take medicines for this condition, l'm really getting

worried.

The

cause of this was a treatment l got 5 days ago from an MD who

practices alternative medicine. He seemed uniquely knowledgable

about energy and supremely confident he could help my k related

problems with my low back, stomach, etc. The treatment consisted

primarily of acupuncture, with a little chiro adjustment and energy

work thrown in.

Not long afterward, my head felt real heavy with energy and my stomach

felt off. The head's improved, but the stomach seems to get worse

every day. The last 3 nites l've been unable to sleep for more than

an hour or two before waking up feeling completely filled with gas.

Getting back to sleep is nearly impossible because l have to belch

nearly every second to try to get the gas out. lt just goes on like

that for hour after hour, with my system pumping gas like crazy while

l try to keep up by belching it out. My stomach and entire system are

wearing out and l'm becoming weaker and stressed out. Because of k,

l've had problems with gas in my stomach for years, but nothing even

close to this.

Obviously, l'm considering calling this doctor or some other doctor

(it doesn't help that this is a weekend) but given that medicines

usually make me feel much worse instead of better, l've been holding

off, hoping this would ease on its own. l don't know what else to do.

So l'm

feeling a little desperate. Does anyone know any natural remedy

likely to help at all? About the only thing l've been able to take

in recent years for gas is a mild antacid (Rolaids), but that's not

helping with this at all.

Thank You,

jerry
