...but the kind I have is free! :thumbup:

I am 5 weeks post op, and am suffering from an unbelievable amount of gas. No matter what I eat, I suffer afterwards. (and so does my husband) lol :thumbup:

I've tried Gas X, and Beano, and all they do is delay the process. I'm kept awake at night from it.

Does anyone have any suggestions at all? Pleeease?!?

Hi, I am three weeks out and I too am suffering from Gas. It did stop five days after surgery but it started up again with a vengence last week. Gas-X wasn't cutting it so I called the nutritionist and she recommended Bio-K which is a super charged drink to balance out the good and bad bacteria in the intestines due to drastic changes in diet. She wanted me on it for two weeks. I only bought five drinks, not two weeks worth, and did get relief after two days. I ran out of drinks, went to get more and the health food store was closed. I forgot to pick them up yesterday and today my gas is back. I am sitting at work and I am so uncomfortable. I am not sure if the Bio-K works or not, could be a coincidence, but I am going to pick some more up today.

Your post made my day!

Walking around abit can really help- I find Gas-x and a little moving around really helped.

Good luck!

Im a year out and still suffer from it BAD. I have learned to control it a bit. Drinking through straws and chewing gum are my enemies! They give me massive gas pains. I get them mainly in my left shoulder. Also if I sit for longer than an hour, I get massive gas pains. Its just weird. After surgery, the gas was the worst part. My friends who have had the surgery have not suffered from it like I have. Again, I still get it.
