I have sore/tender spots on my chest. When I rub them, I start belching up gas. Please explain.?

Answer 1

Try simethicone. Available over-the-counter as Gas-X or Phazyme, this enables you to belch, so the bloating goes down.

Skip the bubbly stuff--and bubble gum. Certain foods and drinks are particularly gas-producing. Stay away from carbonated beverages and chewing gum.

Drink from a straw. Drinking through a straw results in less air-swallowing.

And, yes, chew your food. The more quickly you eat, the more likely you are to take in air. If you chew your food thoroughly before you swallow it, air is less likely to enter your digestive tract.

Put a few morsels in your tummy. Haven't eaten all day? If your stomach gets too empty, it'll fill up with gassy air.

Problem is, the air doesn't stay put, but sooner or later comes out as gas--and you can't control when.

Switch to relaxed-fit jeans. Sometimes, wearing tight girdles or belts or too-snug pants and skirts can force air up and out. To keep the belching down to a minimum, wear loose, comfortable clothes.

Answer 2

You have gas. Try some pills from your local Pharmacy.

Phyzemene works wonders.

Answer 3

You have gas. You need to rip a good one.
Drink peppermint tea and take gas x. Try and burp and fart.
