How do you relieve painful gas?

Asked by Fernspider (3597) January 27th, 2010 from iPhone

(apologies if this is a double up but for some reason my question didn’t post)

It is 3 am and I have been up for over an hour with really painful gas.

I have attempted some yoga positions which I came across after googling the topic and they have helped a little.

I am also sipping on pepperment tea as I have read that this helps.

I am still feeling discomfort after several farts. I have tried pooing but have been unable to do so.

Is there anything I can do?
