Ok, so this is sort of embarrasing. I had surgery on June 17th, I have uncontrollable gas most of the time. It wasn't this bad before I had surgery, but now it is like all the time. I have tried a few things to try and detour having gas, but nothing is working. Does someone have some suggestions or things I can do?

Ohhhh...Hell yes!!!! I swear to god. I don't know where it all comes from. Honestly, I share an office with the Medical Director of our surgery center and I swear, if he comes in to sit at his desk, I am afraid to even get up with out fear of blowing him off his chair!!!!!!

When I get home from work and climb out of my truck to go into my condo, I swear to you that all my neighbors run cause it is a non stop fart until I get in my door. Good thing too as if I waited to do it till I got inside all my windows and doors would probably blow out.

I have tried about everything and nothing seems to help.

Best thing I have found is Gas-x Ultra Extra Strength liquid gels. You only have to take them 2x a day.

I have the same problem the OTC stuff doesn't work. I just had a fill on Tues and talked with my doc and he suggested probiotics. So I looked up probiotics and there a lot of different kinds out there so I haven't figured out which one will work best. I am still researching but it seems from what I read thus far it might actually work. I am going to start with activa yogurt and see if I can take a supplement instead of that yogurt. As I usually it the carb masters yogurt that is chalked full of protein!

What is a probiotics? Is it prescribed or over the counter? I am going to get a fill again on Monday, I have the Realize Band and have 5.5cc is the band now. Hopefully it will be 7 on Monday. Gas X worked after I first had surgery, but it ain't working no more. I wish though.

I hear you get gas after this, but I also hear your breath gets realy stinky..... Is this true too?

:thumbup:

If you keep good dental hygeine your breath will be find. Sneak a toothbrush and travel toothpaste in a baggie in your purse and you'll be fine. Or keep on in your car, at work, whereever you think you'll need it.

Probiotics are OTC

I hear you get gas after this, but I also hear your breath gets realy stinky..... Is this true too?

Your breath may be stinky in the liquid phase if it is no carb - because you go into ketosis and that is one sign of it. Shouldn't happen w/ food though?

Activa yogurt will help the gas. Also, buttermilk.

I had gas from both ends for months, and while it's lessening a little I still have it (esp. after I eat and at night).

Glad to know that I am not the only person with this problem. I will try the probiotics for sure. Thanks for making this post, I don't feel so bad now.
