that you can induce gas? I'm in pain right now. I can't burp and I can't fart and it's painful. The only soda I have is flavored seltzer water and it tastes like crap. I tried sitting on the toilet for awhile and it didn't work it just frustrated me even more. Help please!!!

I couldn't find baking soda or Tums. Will baking powder work instead?

Are you having a round of intestinal flu? It seems like many, many people are! Take 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and wash it down with water. Or if you're lucky enough to have some Tums handy, try four of them.

Don't use baking powder.
Lift your arms above your head and stretch, do it a few times. Then try twisting from your waist side to side.
Even if the seltzer water tastes bad, the bubbles will help.

Try sitting on the floor with your knees to your chest and rock front and back. Hold your knees with your arms. Sometimes the rocking motion gets the gas moving. Good luck.
