Trapped gas for 2 days?

Alka Seltzer and Pepto Bismol are not laxatives. If you haven't had a BM, that's what you need to do, as constipation causes bloating. Try bran flakes, fruit (cherries always work). If you want to take medicine, try a stool softener. Also, there is something called gas pills (simethicone) that you can get at Walmart or Target. I get the generic, and it works like a charm. Since the pain isn't severe, you should be able to manage without going to the doctor. But, if the pain gets worse, or you don't have a bm, you need to see a physician.
