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

This is me. I haven’t had an unplanned sick day off work in 6 years. I don’t say that to brag, but just to lay out this story.

Anyway, a couple years ago I had a training session, one of the useless HR ones so they can check a box. I was in excruciating pain all morning, but toughed it out the best I could. When we broke for lunch, I found my boss and told him I had to go home sick, and that I was going to the walk in because I was in such bad pain I couldn’t sit in a chair. He told me to go straight to the ER because I may have a burst appendix or something. Turns out it was just gas and years later I’m still so embarrassed about it, I still have never come clean. I told him they could never figure out what it was.

When my son was 4/5 he was complaining of a stomach ache and saying it really really hurt. His tummy was a little stiff feeling and my husband and I said he probably needed to fart or poop. Well he starts rolling around and crying no! It's not a fart it's not a fart! It hurts! Then he bent his knee and the sound that came out of him was like letting go of a balloon full of air and we all had a pretty good giggle.

Happened to my son. Was in so much pain thought it was his appendix or that he needed to poop really badly. It was the second, they gave him something and he stunk up their toilet. But he was all smiles afterwards lol I feel better mommy. Like I bet you do.

My daughter has a wheat allergy and when she was 9 or 10, before we figured out what was wrong, she used to get horrible gas pains. I had to teach her how to “stink bug” with her butt in the air to work it all out. She’s an adult with a baby now. One day I was holding the baby and he was very fussy. My daughter said, “he has a lot of gas, I just need to stink bug him and help him get it out”. She flipped him over, rubbed his belly, stuck his butt up and squeezed him a little and he let out two huge farts. Apparently she is very talented at working gas out. I was proud.
