Help, does anyone have trouble with gas and diarrhea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems like everything I eat goes right thru me and gives me awful gas. My husband says he can't stand me. I am assuming he means the stink. Hope that is all. I tried gas ex but it does nothing. I am not wanting to go anywhere because of it. Alice

did you have an RNY revision or did you have the DS? Ive heard people that have the Duodenal Switch sometimes have bad gas problems, at least that is what Ive read (hear say), you might want to call your surgeon and see what he/she thinks. Wish I could help or offer more advise, I also heard that when your body goes into Ketosis when losing so much weight it could cause you to have an odor, not sure how that works either but that is what Ive heard. Im still pre-op so Ive not exerienced any of these things just remember reading them on the board. Hugs Donna S

I know what you mean. Thank GOD I am the only one that uses my bathroom. But I am only one week out so I was told to expect this. I'm sorry I can't help more.

Hi Alice, It sounds like it is what you are eating. I use to have that problem too. Are you eating alot of leave vegetables and red meat ? Atfer surgery your body digest food differently which lets off a terrible odor when you eat certain food. You need to cleanse regualry and that will help. You will also find that your weight will come off faster and you will feel better. I have kept my weight off for 5 years and I have experienced ALL sorts of things.......LOL, form extreme constipation to constant going ( I hate te D word ).
