[Gpdd] HEALTH: gas buildup

[warmbreath at comcast.net]

Dear Cindy,  Simethicone works for gas in the stomach, I would try it, be 
sure to get the kind that doesn't has sorbitol as a sweetener. I would 
eliminate all his veggies for a while and keep him on timothy hay pellets as 
you are and timmy or grass hay, all he can eat, lots of water, that's it. 
For absolute sure get rid of the apple and the turnip, both are gassy. But 
still try taking all the veggies away, and if it works add back only the wet 
organic romaine, and parsley/cilantro. Also if he hasn't been treated with 
ivermectin for a long time try 2 or 3 courses to eliminate any intestinal 
parasites. The revolution wont work for this. Keep up tummy rub, even small 
massagers are helpful. Make sure he can warm his tummy and when you hold him 
do it with his butt elevated as much as is comfy, along your arm does it. 
Gas rises. Try these and let us know how it goes, if theses dont work I 
would guess you are looking at something else. The Reglan  and Cisapride 
should be minimized as much as possible as they have risks and side effects 
. Please report your progress  lotsa love Sandy and Sammy
