Does anyone have any suggestions on dealing with gas.... I'm in public a lot, and this is not going to go over well... lol.... suggestions?

How far post op are you? Mine settled down to be back to normal.

Oh just saw on your other post you’re a week or so out. It really does settle down! I can’t remember exactly when I was back to normal but it was def much shorter than one month. No more stomach noises or anything.

Everybody toots sometimes!!!! ?

I believe many people on this site advised to use Gas-X to relieve gas.

I am a believer in probiotics. Normally during surgery you are given antibiotics. These not only kill off the bad bacteria but also your good gut bacteria. So anytime you end a treatment of antibiotics one should immediately follow it with probiotics to restore your good gut bacteria.

Here are a few past links:

Beano is a god send. You just need to take 3-4 pills right before you eat, just one will not work. The Walmart generic is absolutely useless, so don't bother with buying those.

Thank for all the good advice... hope! LOL
