What drink removes gas from the stomach? - #60828
I am dealing with this annoying constipation gas situation, and honestly, it's driving me nuts! Like, I feel bloated all the time and it's super uncomfortable. I have been trying to keep track of everything I eat and drink. Sometimes I notice it gets worse after I have dairy or too much bread, ugh. And I can't remember the last time I had a solid poop, if I'm being real. The gas is just as awful, like, I can’t even sit comfortably at work without feeling the pressure build up. It’s not just a little discomfort — it’s like a full-on festival in my belly! I have read that drinking warm water or even ginger tea can help relieve gas and constipation, but honestly, nothing seems to work long-term. How do I relieve gas and constipation for good? Also, how long does gas constipation last? It feels like forever and I haven't been able to enjoy meals because I'm just focused on how I’ll feel afterward. Are there any specific foods or drinks you guys recommend that could, you know, really help clear things up? I just want to feel normal again!
