Hi Patrick
I can relate to you. It sounds like you may have a blockage. Thing's that help me are drinking fizzy pop which I can't stand lol, laying on my tummy for 15 minutes and massage the whole stomach. Try to drink plenty of fluids and avoid eating for 24hrs, also hot water bottle. If all this fails then I would call for advice. Ps if any other symptoms than the one you mentioned then straight for advice xx
