You still need to see a doctor to make sure you have the best care. But, if you are like me and have an appointment in 2009, this might help you get through the days.

1. Could you have parasite? If you are sure that you don't have ulcerative colitis, try a hydrogen peroxide enema with distilled water(look for directions, it's important, I don't want any lawsuits) . I followed up with yogurt full of acidophil..... Something to replenish the good bacteria. In the process, I took some worm medicine (reese's pinworm medicine, to be exact). I was feeling better within 2 weeks. Your symptoms could point at worms despite how clean we feel we are. They're more contagious than you think.

2. Did you know tissue can quiet gas? Since sometimes the gas noises comes backed up wind, you can try roll a little bit of tissue paper and place it on the, well, area. (and I do mean place it) it does wonders, I promise. Test it first to see how much you need (funny, isn't it)

3. Does your stomach seem to know when the room is quiet? If you get easily stressed out about this, try this exercise. Breathe in while expelling your stomach and breathe out while tuck in your stomach. You will feel a certain rush that will put you in a relaxing state. Just make sure you catch the stress coming on, the gas could already have made it to the end, (but that is what the tissue is for, huh)

i hope this helps, the second I started to get better, I just wanted to tell the world! (well, not exactly, just to those who needed it just as much as I did)
