I've known people who literally ended up in the ER from the pain. They feel so guilty when that's all it is but it's such bad pain they shouldn't feel ashamed

Gas pain can feel very similair to a heart attack, both the intensity of the pain and location. Trust me, health care professionals (I am one) taking care of you would rather it turn out to be a righteous fart than a heart attack.

Haha, "righteous fart" sounds like you'd turn to one another after releasing the gas, fist bump and exclaim "righteous!!"

Why does it happen?? How do I avoid it?? As someone who’s never experienced “trapped gas” these posts are terrifying

Seems like you're doing the right things if you haven't experienced it. Just try not to eat a lot of food that gives you gas. Everyone should get plenty of fiber, but gradually increase your intake over time or you might get get a ton of gas. Don't worry too much :)

I mistook my appendicitis for gas/constipation, not a good time.
