So embarrassing but...I gotta ask anyway! Is anyone else suffering with horrible gas? Can this be treated?



Recommended Posts

I have to say, this has been a horrible and gross side effect. I'm afraid to sleep next to my husband because I know I smell like a flatchulent pig all night! Please say this can be treated ! This is just gross and uncomfortable.

Yeah, I take that like crazy but, it's more how terrible the smell is! I know it's super gross and not very lady like to say all this but, it's really a source of anxiety for me all the time. Is there a way to fix how bad it is?

Certain foods cause more gas than others so it sounds like it diet-related. You can do a google search for gas-producing foods.

There is a special kind of underwear that has a charcoal insert to filter and diffuse gas as it passes through. I think I also read somewhere about charcoal capsules. I haven't used either.

All I know is, now that my husband is off active duty with the Army and we now sleep together every night, this is all I can think of! I'm so worried about him possibly being awake and hearing me all night long doing that! Why is life so embarrassing? ??

Try taking some Probiotics. They may help straighten out imbalances in your digestive tract (due to surgery and/or antibiotics). Call your surgeon's office too. You are not the first patient of theirs to have this problem.

P.S. Please thank your husband for his service to our country. And thank you for being supportive while he was serving.

I take Devrom also- it is an internal deodorizer. It helps tremendously! I doesn't get rid of the gas, but it makes the smell much, much better! I don't mind the gas as long as the smell is gone! I highly recommend.

could it be a food - like lactose or whey?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
