I am a 21 yr old male, currently preparing
for the LSAT. I have what has become a
very troubling issue with nervous gas.
Almost regardless of what I eat/drink the
night before or the morning of the exam, I
have a very restless bowell during the
4-hour test. Basically, I suffer painful
gas that I obviously do not want to expel
since I am sitting in a silent room with
about 10-12 other test-takers, and thus I
writhe in discomfort and embrassment
during my practice examinations. I know
this problem may sound a bit funny, but
its persistence is really bothering me,
becuase I think it is having an impact on
my score.
are there medicines that I can take, or
routines that I can follow to
mitigate/remove this problem? thanks very
much.

What you are experiencing could be related
to nervousness and digestion. Personally I
would recommend going to a naturopathic
doctor who can perscribe something for
your digestion and gas. Also look at what
you are eating in the morning or the night
before. Are you eating fruit combined with
food? This can cause a gas effect in the
stomach through fermentation as fruit
digestion is different from regular foods.
Digesting fruits takes a different
digestive acid as other foods and the
process is shorter than regular food. So
when combined this can cause gas and
strange sounds in the stomach. It can be
as easy as taking a digestive enzyme.
If you find out what it is you have let us
know. Keep us posted on what you used and
how it worked for you.
