Trapped wind...

[rotts05]

Other than Fybogel is there anything else I can take for trapped wind / constipation? I am drinking plenty of water etc but not much helps, especially the trapped wind

Peppermint oil capsules before every meal - saved me a lot of pain and misery!

I went to the docs as I keep having awful constipation and trapped wind..She gave me Lactulose, when I read it you have to have quite a lot for it to even work, I'm thinking having a lot of laxative will just make me sick, so I'm going back monday to ask for something better!

oh lactulose worked perfectly well for me - take a big dose to deal with the immediate problem, then take a spoon every day. It's minging, but it does the job and is perfectly safe.

Peppermint tea works too.

rennies is a good one although check label first.

A friend of mine told me to eat a fruit on an empty stomach - like 1st thing in the morning. I started eating a banana as soon as I wake up and it works like a charm; I immediately have to go potty!

Someone recommended tonic water to me and it's the only thing that has really helped when I have severe trapped wind. Worth a shot!
