Emarrassing gas problem on a regular basis

[Oregondaisy 2,020]

Since I got my sleeve surgery, I have horrible gas. It's so embarrassing.

I know to stay away from sugar alcohol. Eating that stuff is a big mistake for me. I will toot for hours afterwards.

Yesterday I made a new discovery.

Regular sugar give me gas too. I went to a kid's birthday part and they were serving cup cakes. Plus I had a mini snickers and I was tooting away for the next few hours.

I also believe that Splenda gives me gas. I notice if I eat an Atikins Protein Bar with no sugar alcohol but they do contain splenda, I am tooting within an hour.

And of course milk products give me gas too. I seem to be okay with yogurt though.

Beano and gas X do not seem to help.

Does anyone else have a problem with gas? Have you narrowed it down to what will cause it? What do you do for it?

Well I had this problem when I first started taking Fiber. It calmed down though. So I can't be of any help! Helpful I know. I am sorry you are going through this.

I take a probiotic and that seems to help keep things quieter down below.

Now this is a topic I can relate to! My butt loves to flutter more regularly than it did before the surgery, but am blessed it is non-toxic. If I am eating right, more butt burps happen; it is just fact of my life. Like everything else with this sleeve and all the changes, I go through phases and know that this too shall pass. Well, maybe it will, both literally and figuratively, but isn't it great that your innards are working fine? I agree about the anti-gas medicines and Probiotics as they seem to help when I sounds more like a poorly running chain saw. Good luck, and for goodness sake, no open flames!

I should go back to taking probiotics I guess. I don't know why I stopped them other than I take so much junk already.

All carbs do it for me. So I limit them.

Daisy - I have the same problem, doesn't seem to matter what I eat (or don't) eat, I have gas; however, as Bob said, it's not toxic, although still embarrassing.

Bob - you are hilarious and I love to read your posts ... butt flutters ... too funny

I bought some probiotics and they are sitting on my desk at work and I still haven't taken the first one - guess I should give that a try.

It wouldn not be that big of a deal

if they weren't really stinky. I can't smell them because I have no sense of smell but others tell me

it's nasty.

They are silent but deadly, and sometimes not even silent and then it's double the embarrassment.
