I have had excessive gas pains for six days now. I have had to eat very small amounts of crackers and an occasional banana for meals. Eating a regular meal with meat and two veggies makes my belly swell and hurt and have real bad gas that will not pass or go away. I have tried simethicone, tums, charcoal capsules, peppermint tea, chammomile tea, and exercise and nothing will make the gas go completely away. Had a sonogram done on my abdomen with normal results. Got any ideas? I'm miserable. Even eating chicken noodle soup hurts!
