Since surgery my body is whack. I rumble, gurgle, bubble, burp and fart. Things that never caused it before cause it now. Things that caused it before make it particularly foul now. So..

Ground turkey. (Swamp a$$)
Cabbage.
Broccoli.
Cashews. (Clear the room.)
Beans.
Ice cream.
Cream based Soups.
Fried foods.
Whiskey.
Sausage.
Deviled eggs. (Oh dear lord.)

...

There are more.

You don't have have as many digestive enzymes as you used to have, so food doesn't get as "pre-digested" in your (much smaller) stomach before entering your intestines. They are having to work harder, and just can't do it all. Hence the gas- from either end. Me, drinking high Protein shakes, I might as well be laying a minefield. Well as the saying goes, "Better out, than in!"

LipstickLady,

If you do eat any of those foods, you can have some fun with it.

Too bad you can't embed one in a response to any of the negative posters or trolls here.

Most of these smell terrible without lack of digestion. I could just imagine after it sits inside us and rots some more.

Cabbage.

Broccoli.

Beans.

Deviled eggs. (Oh dear lord.)

If I eat anything that is sugar free by means of sucralose, sorbitol, maltitol, or any other sugar alcohol...Watch out! I could power myself to the moon and back! Even the dogs look at me like REALLY?

Beans, especially refried, and pretty much any bean doesn't act well on the insides. They cause great pain, but let it loose and makes me feel oh so much better!!!

I've always been somewhat of a tooting machine. Sometimes I even amaze myself!

Nothing so far gives me those issues, but I can no longer eat canned tuna or deli turkey. They just provoke a gag response for some reason and won't go down!

Got to say, if I had to give up my rare-as-heck-now glass of scotch I'm be really pissed!

I'm having o be careful I don't fart out loud reading this and love that pic!

It's cucumbers cauliflower broccoli and beans that are deadly for me. I will see you in orbit Renkoss if I eat that lot in one meal

Silent but deadly as we blow

I needed you all in my "Calling all farting and Burping Masters" post, wherever it was ....

I did not want to become an Atomic Queen, or a Cyclone maker....

I am pleased to say that with the use of a Probiotic, I am often symptom free .... these days

Became a Farting master post op, from silent non-deadly ones, to super loud explosions and deadly .....

And yes, initially I did not not trust any farts .... the ones I thought were safe .... were not! OMG !

I am moderately lactose intolerant, so I switched to lactose-free milk.

Not really sure what was causing my initial blasts, any food I ate/drank did it for me.

Got Gasx/Degas, so far no need to use it

Probiotic is now another friend of mine ...

Totally agree with Shrek!!!

Thank you ladies! Laughing out loud has to be spelled out this time. hahahaha

Anticipating lifetime supply of beano and Probiotics NOW!

My niece had the foulest smelling farts before being diagnosed with Celiac's. Omg! We were in Disney and could track her by her farts! Lol

At Disney they could have changed the song to "It's a smell world after all".

That joke stunk. Bad.

I haven't had surgery yet (in fact, am looking for a surgeon now), but as someone who suffers from ulcerative colitis, none of these things are new for me (including the "never trust a fart" gem).

Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and I imagine any other cruciferous vegetables will definitely make me fart.

Beans, beans, the magical fruit, the more I eat, the more I toot.

Chickpeas, onions, asparagus always give me gas.

Carbonated drinks (including beer) are problematic, but I've given up all carbonation and alcohol so that's one less thing to worry about.

eggs can be an issue, but it depends on the way that I eat them. Hard-boiled is usually best.

Sometimes the gas is controllable, that is, I can hold it until I can get in the "clear" - as a teacher this means leaving the classroom briefly. Sometimes it comes out in rapid, tiny bursts, and there's nothing I can do about it except hope that I'm sitting down and that there's no sound or smell.

Can you take something like Beano after surgery? If I know I'm going to eat something particularly problematic, I'll take Beano beforehand (3 pills are better than 2), and Gas-X after I eat, before the gas starts. That seems to help the best.

I have a couple friends that had DS, and when they eat the wrong carbs do they not only have gas, but the smell can be used to peal the paint of an old tank.

I've heard that about DS. Why oh why would you choose that option, because I don't think that gets any better. Yikes.
