firm painful stomach

Hi maybe it is something you have eatin that is causing alot of gas build up..
Do you have a temprature?
Do you have blood in your stool?
Are you taking any prednisolone?
Do you have any other symptoms?
Does the pain go away when you pass gas?
I know this seems like a lot of questions but we maybe able to give advice if we know a little bit more :)

The main thing is that you are still passing gas and your tools is a normal color.
If you pass black stool then you need to go to hospital straight away as this is serious.

If it is just a gas build up due to something you have eatin then maybe try peppermint tea if you don't like over the counter meds or you could go gets something from over the counter.

Good luck!

Sometimes I find a heating pad soothes the pain a little... but gets things moving and helps expel the pain causing gas. Also... I think ive come up with a new Toilet Yoga to coax air out too.

For your firm stomach... is it distended out... or just feels hard/full when you poke and prod?

Could be some constipation built up and trapping some gas behind it... but if you are still going regularly... id google appendix issues.

Sorry cant be more help... middle of the night toilet post, here. Lol

I know how you feel. I heard that apple cider vinegar will help with gas pains and irregularity, so I've been taking 2 tbs with a big glass of warm water every morning for 2 weeks now. It works, but it seems to work best once I arrive at work. I googled before I bought it. Braggs is the brand to get and I found it at my local grocery store. It's organic and unpasteurized which seems to be the key. It's terrible! It tastes like you're coloring eggs, but seems to work. I don't know about you, but I'll try anything that will work with this disease.
