Gas - Surgery Date 3/31

I have tons of gas. When I eat I get gas, when I drink I get gas, when I am sitting at my desk I get gas. When it gets really bad I do take Gas X Strips but I am afraid of using them too much. I have learned when tummy is full I get very gassy and if I ignore it, I will want to die. Am I eating too fast, is this normal, is there too much Gas X Strips?

I am very good and do not drink out of straws or drink carbonation so I have no clue where all this stuff is coming from.

Beans, beans - good for the heart. The more you eat the more you uhhhhhhh like them!

Any time I eat beans, or anything with wheat in it, I get gas. I can eat cabbage, onions, kraut, etc. and don't get gas too badly. If I eat too fast, I get hiccups. If I whizz my shakes too long in the blender, they have too many bubbles and I get gas.

I guess you could be real mindful of how you eat as much as what you eat. Log your food and see if a pattern of gas response is evident to what you are eating. Beano (you take one just before eating) should be your new best friend.

I don't even eat Beans. I would track it but it is literally everything that enters my tummy (well maybe not water). I am trying to get back into tracking everything I eat, but it is rather hard to get into the routine. Does Beano work better than Gas X? I think I need something I can take all the time. This gas is embarrassing.

I am 3 months out and I burp every time I drink water. I just let it out quietly so I don't have to worry about gas X. I am pretty sure you can't OD on it. That is what they told me after my surgery.
