my son is 6 and had severe abdomial pain, diarrhea and lots of gas in his colon. His pediatrician said he has constipation and jus gave him suppository. He is still having pain from massive amount of gas but his dr. said gas-x wont help since it s in his colon and not his stomach. Is there any thing he can take to speed up the gas process because right now it is trapped in his system. If he can t take any thing, how long will it take for gas to eventually pass?
