After passing stools, I get mild to intense abdominal pain with no fart. How to fix this?

Question

Hello doctor,

This morning I woke up and passed stools and had mild abdominal pain in the center of my belly. I went about my day and the pain is getting more intense. I defecated again and it still hurts. The pain feels like the worst gas of my life but I am not farting. I cannot afford to go to the hospital especially if it just ends up going away. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Well, the onset of pain with a feeling of bloating, and change in intensity after passing stools suggest it is related to gas. You probably had something last night, or a few days back, which has caused you to this gastrointestinal upset.

Well, this does not seem alarming in any way. I suggest you to take Simethicone (anti-flatulence) suspension /or capsule (whatever available OTC pharmacy) 60 to 125 milligrams (mg) four times a day, after meals and at bedtime for two to three days. This medication will break the gas bubbles and will help you pass the gases easily. It has side effects of excessive burping/belching, and farting. But use temporarily until the time you feel better.

If symptoms do not improve in the next 48 hours, and if the pain increase in intensity or you started feeling vomiting and complete loss of flatus, I suggest you to contact me immediately or get yourself checked to the nearby clinic.
