I've been experiencing lots of gas in my stomach as well as bloating. I'm belching all day long and my stomach gets as hard as a rock. I don't have pains, but I do have nausea. Sometimes the gas is so bad I just want to vomit. Furthermore, my stomach is so swollen people are now asking if I'm pregnant! (Of course, they should know that if I were, that it would be my lower abdomen that would be big, not upper.) I don't know what to do. I haven't gone to the doctor yet because, honestly, I no longer have health insurance. I'd like to find a strong and effective over-the-counter medication that works! I've tried Gas-X and almost everything else, but NOTHING works. I do have some Zantacs around the house and am wondering if these will work for gas (I'm aware they're taken for heartburn). Anyone have any advice? I'm willing to pay more for something that'll work. Please help! Thanks.

strong brewed peppermint herbal tea would be my first suggestion, we give it to post surgical patients in the hospital that have alot of gas. (no sweetners, no sugar)
Next, alka seltzer, it will make you burp like crazy.
you also need to address the cause of the gas....it is common if this condition comes on suddenly, that it is caused by developing a lactose intolerance, so try not eating any dairy products what so ever for a couple of weeks and see if that fixes the problem.
The other possibility is a gall bladder problem, in which case fats would be the culprit and you would need to go on a totally fat free diet. Hope this information is some help to you.

Unfortunately, you could have something more serious than just a gas problem. You need to be seen by a physician. I had a similar situation recently and it was related to sleep apnea which was brought on by severe under treated hypothyroidism. Yes, I looked pregnant, about 6 months.
Since antacids aren't doing the trick, I'd start looking at conditions which can cause your symptoms.
Lactose intolerance is also a symptom of hypothyroidism.
Other conditions can cause this type of bloating as well.
See a doctor. Find a low-cost clinic and go.

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!
1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.
2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.
The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.
After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net
Ohhh..and Good Luck!

Hello,
A good site you can visit to solve your problem with natural solutions: http://erectiledysfunction.toptips.org
Erectile dysfunction (also known as impotence or simply ED) occurs when a man can no longer get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It's a common type of male sexual dysfunction. Male sexual arousal is a complex process that involves the brain, hormones, emotions, nerves, muscles and blood vessels. Erectile dysfunction can result from a problem with any of these. Likewise, stress and mental health problems can cause or worsen erectile dysfunction. Visit http://erectiledysfunction.toptips.org for more info and remedies about erectile dysfunction.
Hope it helps.

Thier was this one time (I think I was 21) I was in so much pain and my stomach expaned so big I thought I was going to die. My friend ran to the store and got some "Gas-X" and it releived it with in the first 20 minutes.
Later I found out I was lactose intolerant, and I have Gerd (My stomach produces more acid then it needs).
Buy some Gas-X
and buy over the counter "acid reducer" ...
and you should be fine.

Eating lots of leafy greens, whole grains, oysters, watermelon, and blueberries (most any fruit will work, really) will help you give your body all that it needs to improve the quality of your erections, while cutting out processed foods, cigarettes and alcohol will provide further benefits.

Add in a healthy dose of exercise at least three times per week, and you’re well on your way to better sexual health!

Try peppermint tea or ginger tea. They both help with the digestive tract. I would stick with the mint teas. They expel gas fairly quickly and promotes digestion
Good luck
