I am T6 and multiple broken ribs, have a band of pain right across the top of my stomach. I was told it was digestive track problem and was given medication that not only didn't eliminate the pain, it gave me diarrhea. But I noticed that when I pass gas the pain would diminish. So I started taking gas-x when the pain was bad and it would go away completely. Still have questions about the pain but for now seem to have it under control
