Hello I’m a newbie on here and my name is Tina. Is there anyone on here who has had their kidney removed and had problems with holding on to the gas. I am so bloated and getting bigger and bigger. Any ideas how to reduce this please. I was told by a nurse to chew gum and drink Peppermint tea but neither seems to have worked.
Hi Mrs Fishy,
So sorry to hear you are holding gas, if you don’t get any reply’s from someone on this site you could always ask one of the Macmillan nurses for their help, I did not so I cannot say what you can do, I hope someone else will be able to help, take care Sandy
