Re: Painful Trapped wind - or not?
I`ve been told the pain I experience under my right rib cage is IBS. I do not believe it is.
I had gallstones, and they had to remove my gallbladder but I still have the pain attacks :(
What I do to get rid of the pain is, the moment I feel a pain attack starting, I quickly eat a slice
of brown bread and drink 1 glass of water. This usually will resolve the pain in less than 2minutes.
Sometimes I have to eat 2 slices of bread for it to work.
I believe the reason this works is because there are stones in my liver that are slowly moving out. And the bread
causes my bile to flow more and thereby helps with moving the stones out. Eating greasy fatty food always causes more
pain attacks than I usually get throughout the day,(I believe the stones are formed from cholesterol deposits in the liver) so I have stopped eating all fatty foods. Its helped alot but hasnt
completely stopped the pain attacks.
