Is it normal to get gas after CoolSculpting and is it safe to take an anti-inflammatory?

IAA1981
I am 7 days out of having procedure done on lower and upper abdomen. Besides the pain, I have also had the worst gas. Could this just be a rare symptom that few get? Also, why is there mixed views as far as using anti-inflammatory medicines? I was told not to use as they may hinder results. I have been doing Tylenol, heat and now cooling pad as well as compression.
