Try simethicone, the main ingredient in Gas-X. I buy it at CVS. 80mg tablets. A couple of those will ease the bloated feeling in the stomach. Then you fart out the gas tomorrow (painlessly).

Search 'aerophagia'. I think it's probably asked about more than anything else and just about everyone gets it.

It should get better with time, just have fun with it wherever you go.
Thinking of quitting CPAP?

No problem, here's the first thing to do when you quit:


Advanced funeral planning. When you give up CPAP, you'll probably need it.
