Takeaway?
Not every symptom needs a new label.
Sometimes it’s anxiety. Sometimes it’s nerves.
Sometimes it’s just… life.
But every patient deserves to be heard —
even when the gas goes to their brain. 💨🧠

We hydrated 💧
We reassured ❤️
We regulated sleep 💤
We grounded the nerves ⚡️
And we gave the belly some love 🫃
He smiled.
I smiled.
Gas went silent. 🕊️
