- In case you ever pass out gas , just blow it away and people near you will never have to deal with the bad smell. Dont make it too obvious but a gentle blow should be fine in saving your dignity at least.

gas & bloating
- I have had constipation problems since childhood. With time it has gotten worse, The gas comes and goes and the bloating is most uncomfortable. I use gas-x from time to time, but the gas gets trapped and it becomes extremely painful. I made a wrap for myself to help relieve the gas because I didn't want to take medication day and night. It works with pressure and it pushes the gas out.

Right side
- Laying on your right side helps release trapped gas. If you lay on your left side it will cause the pain to increase.

Hot bath
- I have only recently discovered that hot baths work wonders for a bloated and uncomfortable tummy. The fuller the bath the better. Try laying in different positions too.

Movement
- I find moving around helps relieve the gas. Someone else mentioned Yoga. I like Tai Chi. It is great for massaging those internal organs to help the gas speed along and get out. So is ballroom dancing, of all things. Do a nice Latin dance with lots of cuban motion and the gas is gently encouraged to work its way out! Honest! (And you have fun and get your exercise at the same time!)

Gas & Bloating
- I find that taking Psyllium husk prior to eating & peppermint capsules after eating help, you must however not eat any foods associated with IBS, e.g. red meat, red wine, but this is an occupational hazard of having IBS.

Definitely Tea

Activated charcoal; my saving grace
- I order Activated Charcoal capsules online as it is more cost-saving. Two capsules as I need it; some days I don't, others I may take several throughout the day. If you can take them BEFORE you have symptoms, such as taking before you eat something irritating, then you will be ahead of the game. It has helped me feel more in control of the situation.

Walking & Peppermint
- I hate getting bloated and it usually happens when I have overeaten. I do 2 things to ease the bloat 1) walk around, even the house for 10 minutes, or simply stand while watching TV. 2) sip hot peppermint tea (hot as in temperature, not spiciness).

Fennel Tea Helps
- Fennel tea, which can be bought at health food stores, is great for relieving gas and bloating. Also... some people are allergic to dairy products. You can stop the bloating before it starts by avoiding these foods. You can try going without dairy for about a week, and then when you re-introduce it into your diet, you'll see whether that was the cause of your discomfort.
