Has anyone experienced severe flatulence post-op? I’ve tried everything to curb it with no luck. So I started taking Devrom to at least minimize the odor, but that raises my blood sugar more than a bag of candy.

have you tried gasx?

You can also purchase charcoal pills which is what my surgeon told me to try.

I've tried GasX, Charcoal, Gaviscon, Tums, Pepto...everything.

What about Beano with food?

Tried it. Better, but not quite.

Did you take several pills when you eat, or just one? I find if I take 3-4 at the beginning of a meal, it almost completely eliminates gas.

hi, same problem...but what causes the gas exactly...the high proteins?/

No idea. At this point everything gives me gas. Doesn't matter what it is. The only thing so far that has worked is Immodium. For some reason it stops the gas but I can still have regular BMs. There's so much I don't understand yet. And every 2-3 months things change so I'm just working on the premise that this too will pass.
