Staying at 8,500 feet and I've had aggravating bloating for 2 1/2 days that has not stopped. Went to urgent care where they suggested gas x and a prescription for nausea if needed. Started a med named metronidazole in case it was bacterial related but no relief so far. At home I take a gas x pill after a large meal but the bloating has never lasted this long. Have tried rotating tums, gas x, and Pepcid ac with no real lasting help.
Flying home tomorrow and it can't come soon enough. Online says high altitude contributes.
Any suggestions to help the bloating?

I always get that at altitude. GasX is the only thing that helps. I also take Dexalent for reflux to that probably helps a little.

Maybe activated charcoal?

It's called the "alti-toots"

I get some pretty awesome gas when I get up to altitude for a couple of days, but nothing like that. Part of it is my diet also changes a lot when on vacation.

I'd say move around a lot and that would push it through your system versus trying to contain it.

Crop dusting helps!

Have someone pull your finger

Yeah if someone has a fix, I'd like to make sure my guests have access to it.

Hadn't looked into it before.

Pump your knees to your chest and manually get it out

Thank you all that replied. Want to update this post for future reference.

DICYCLOMINE 20 mg tablet is the prescription that I needed but never got on my trip. I have it now. Lol

Feel much better this week after returning home and changing my diet to cut out gluten, white flour products, and high fructose corn syrups
