Glad things went well! Sorry there's some unpleasantness. I can't think of a natural remedy.

Uh, I don't know how much of an option is is post-surgery, but the whole bicycling a baby's legs while it is on its back? Works for adults to. Or just drawing your knees to your chest while lying down.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, Seska!
Glad the surgery went well, Vortex! Sorry about the residual issues.
Hooray for working indoor plumbing, smonster!
You know what's annoying? Random texts from needy acquaintances who are all "I got a vibe you were mad at me. Did I do something wrong?"
People who take everything personally drive me nuts too. Is this the sort of person who simply will not believe that everything you do in her presence is not, in fact, about her? "Are you SURE you're not mad at me?"

Lie down on your left side. It may take a while, but it will help. Lying on your right is not as effective. Don't ask me why. This was the advice someone gave me ages ago and it works; if I'm gassy, it does help relieve the problem.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
What Sail said, and also gently rub your stomach in slow circles.

Vortex, what brenda and Sail said and I also find a combination of tums and tylenol helps.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Here is my flash of brilliance for the day: just get the hell out of an argument between someone who is transsexual and someone who is transgender, when the TS person is soapboxing about what "transgender people" really believe.
(TS person is busy saying that TG people don't mind being mistaken for *either* gender, because gender doesn't matter to them. The TG person is, perhaps rightly so, saying, "Just because I can't afford surgery doesn't mean I want people to assume I'm the wrong gender!" I was only in there to comment on some weird academic point. So I'm getting out before there is blood. Well, you know. ONLINE blood.)

Do you have any mint tea or peppermint, Vortex?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why does TS person think they can speak for TG, especially to TG?

I am FULL OF GAS. and it's rather unpleasant. Any thoughts for natural remedies?
Do the bicycle position, where you prop your hips up on your hands and lift your legs in the air, except put your feet on the floor/bed behind your head. Then relax. But keep breathing. This is the yoga position known as "Waiting to Fart".
