Bloating and gas

Okay so I'm due for my period in about 3-4 days or so. I had such bloating and gas in my left pelvic area yesterday and today it was hard to burp or pass gas.  I had to eat some Trebor mints to move the gas. If anyone else has this problem,  these mints are the greatest.  They only sell them in the UK so I ordered from Amazon.

      Just sucking one this very minute ,not got the wrapper as I keep in a dish ,but I believe they're Trebors ,but Extra Strong ,the ones maybe you have are the mild ones,these are big in size Geen and White wrapper  is that what you have now .if it is you've got right ones.I normally need 2 to get any effect when I've got it bad ,as I do now .Not eaten either today as castronitis is abound here .

      If you can try a couple of drops of peppermint oil in warm water.  Works quickly and is plesant if you do not put too many drops in the water.  Use sparingly.  In desperation I tried Tic Tacs, they work too.  I think any peppermint works if they are made with peppermint oil.  In hospital they gave me peppermint oil in warm water when I was suffering wind after an operation.  Started working very quickly.

    Greetings!  Gas you say??! That's my middle name.  Gas from my mouth and gas from my a** too. I burp at the table as it comes up from nowhere.  It's quite embarassing but it's a chuckle.  Me and my daughter were at the grocery store and this lady walks by farting.  I thought hmmm yup menopause.  It's hard to control ya know.  Just try and blame it on someone else sometimes that works.  😁😁😁
