Anyone got any home remedies for trapped wind while pregnant??

I can feel it rumbling about my colon and it flipping hurts if you stuck a pin in me id fly round the room :(

Can you take Beano ?

Some people swear by mint tea (but I don't know if you're allowed that during pregnancy) although I much prefer a very warm glass of water, it really does the job. Good luck, I know how annoying those things can be.

What about homemade lemon tea. Boiled water, and freshly squeezed lemon and drink up. The warmth will be soothing and lemon will help your stomach.

Gag lemon no thanks don't need more acid giggle as for mint tea the smell of that stuff is enough to make me go the colour of the tea I know I know I'm fussy but I'm allowed to be.
Ive never heard of beano I'm english I live in the uk a lot of american brands are banned here in the uk.

Do you have Green Drops over there? That does help. A few drops in a glass of warm water. I know how that feels and you are so right, stick a pin and you could fly. Good luck finding a solution.

Never heard of those shy do you have a link??

Beano is Canadian as far as I know, here is a link BEANO HOME (http://www.beanogas.com)

I just used regular gas medicine the normal dose OK to take during pregnancy, usually just the generic brand from Walmart since it was cheaper and just as good as the name brand

I swear to god I'm going to look like a rennee giggle

Ha you are only saying that Cap because you don't have to get into bed with me ;)

simethicone is the active ingredient in gas medicine, the generic brand was for like Gas X and medicine like that, but you would just have to look for gas medicnes that have the active ingrediant simethicone

Gas-X or other anti-gas medications
Gas-X and other anti-gas meds (Phazyme, Flatulex, Mylicon, Mylanta Gas) relieve abdominal pain caused by excessive gas in the digestive tract. Their active ingredient is simethicone, which is safe during pregnancy. But before trying any medication, we recommend looking at your diet and eliminating or cutting back on foods that increase gas.

Sorry kind of new at this didn't know how to edit stuff, just trying to help you but I guess I will stop helping people who ask for help.

Triple post aaargh!

Homemade lemon and warm water. You say gag, but lemon, the acid actually neutralizes gas and helps relieve it. I know it might sound silly, but try it out. Oh, and it is natural, hee hee.

I know but I have serious problems with consuming acid anyway Joe you know about my other health problems ;)

For the tummy part I suggest anything with mint, ginger or beef jerky... The gas part I'm racking my brain so I'll have to get back to you if I think of something
