It seems to me to be some kind of reflex action. She is currently a dialysis patient, but these episodes started prior to dialysis. They started a few weeks after an aortic thoracic anerysm. Any thoughts please help. Dear mj, I was very interested in the story of your mother s symptoms.
Excessive gas can cause nausea, abdominal pain, sweating and belching.
The symptoms are often due to swallowed air. This can occur if your mother breathes through her mouth. Lifestyle traits that increase the risk of intestinal gas also include talking while eating and drinking with a straw. Dietary changes can also lead to increased gas. For example drinking more milk, eating more salads or increasing the quantity of fiber eaten could cause your mother s symptoms.
