How to get rid of wind in my stomach?
There are tonnes of food that I try to avoid because my stomach is always bloated with lots of winds starting early Feb this year. I went to see my doctor many times for the past few months to treat the trapped wind but to no avail. Western medication doesn’t seem to be working well for me.
The stomach wind seems to get worst after my laparoscopy. Lately my stomach pain has been hurting so much and often woke me up from the sleep. I am so determined to get rid of this once and for all, hopefully before I return to the stressful workforce next Monday. So, this is what I want to do daily , in fact I have already started this regime since yesterday:
- Making pitted red dates & wolfberries tea mixed with raw ginger to drink(Chinese traditional way of getting rid of wind)
- Taking a short walk after eating to encourage digestion process(As advised by my doctor)
- Consuming 3 teaspoon of the expensive active 100% wild Cherry honey that I just bought. The salesman said it would definitely help to release the gas…erm, still too early to judge the effect now!
On top of that, list of Food that I try to keep at bay at all cost:
- Soft drinks
- Whole grains
- Milk, daily and soy products
- Vegetables, e.g. beans, cabbage, artichokes, brussels sprouts, broccoli, sweet potato, onions and asparagus
- Fruits, e.g. Citrus fruits, pears , peaches and apples
- Foods containing sorbitol, such as dietetic foods and sugarfree candies and gums
- glutinous rice
- bread
- spicy food
I shall come back to update my blog in a week’s time to conclude the effectiveness of the above method. Wish me all the best, will ya?
Update (3 June 09)
Thanks to ginger, my condition has become better. How do I know if ginger helps? It is not hard to tell, because the wind that I passed out smelled so much like the ginger water that I drank
