I am having trouble releasing gas. I ate a heaping amount of pinto beans last night and my stomach is in knots cramping.
Any advice/meds that will help me release the gas?

You may try chewing some Gas-X tablets. Keep moving around. This can help move the gas along. Beans will cause a lot of gas.
If I get to the point of bad cramping, I stop eatting until things start moving again. It usually is a matter of hours, maybe the majority of the day at most.
Sometimes I will also just take in water. It seems to help things move along.
Ditto on the Gas X, as well.

-> Gas-x (symethicone) tablets or strips will help it come out
-> Walking and moving around
-> Changing positions, knees to chest, etc.
-> Heating pad
-> Gently rubbing the tummy
-> Hot chamomile or peppermint tea
-> Laying on left side
Next time try eating fewer beans. I can have a few in a burrito and be fine, but if I eat a bunch, I'm screwed. Also try taking a Bean-O dissolving tablet before your meal.
