so gassy

I am so gassy that i dont know how im not floating around. it gets even worse at the end of the day. i have never farted(tmi i know sorry) so much in my life. my poor family haha. so is anyone else super gassy or is it just me. i take alot of gas x too but it does nothing for me

Ummmm, yeah, here comes more TMI, but you asked, I was real gassy and then it slowed down to where I'm only gassy before a BM. What I can't get past is odor. I mean, I know my farts didn't smell like roses before , but they are downright deadly now.

OMG LMAO! because we were driving home from my mother-in-laws house tonight and I let a SBD on slip and nearly blew over my husband and children in the car. My boys (10 & 11) were ROARING over it. lol I was so embarassed. Thank gawd I was only with my family!! Wow! I so understand the new odorous emissions....wow!

AMEN!! I have found I have to limit my milk-type products in the day. i went a little overboard one day and had yogurt and potato soup for 2 meals and the next day was in the bath room all-DAY. As many new post -ops are I am lactose intolerant. So the next day I stuck to broth and my protein shake and I am back to normal ( GI wise).

I find that skim milk does a number on me. In the past, if I was on Weigh****chers and had to have skim, the same thing would happen. SO, yesterday I finally got myself some Lactaid. It was a lot better last night. Misery loves company, I guess - it made me feel better to know I wasn't the only one with the nighttime gas problems. I was much better last night, but the protein shakes are getting me down...I'm sick of them!!

I am right there with all of you. I was told about the excessive gas and the foul odor prior to surgery. However, I can get totally debilitated by the gas. I too take gas x, but I also drink hot tea. This helps me alot. I was in agony for 12 hrs with gas pain. I took 2 gas x and nothing, took 2 more and felt girgles. After having hot tea on top of all of this I was able to pass gas and burp it out. (tmi but on topic).

awww besides gas x I dont really know what to suggest... The first 2 weeks after I came home I was really gassy but that has kinda gotten better since then.

I am glad to hear I am not the only one!!!!! I use a cpap and the smell gets into the machine after so many toots. It then wakes me up because it smells sooooooo bad. I seem to fart all night long on the days it happens. way tmi I know

I can't help but to giggle at all of this because I to am a victum of sewer butt, however, I found it was because everything I am eating is dairy. Yogurt, skim milk, cheeze. Just about everything I eat is dairy. I found I became lactose intolerant. I was never before surgery so it took me until yesterday to find out. I was miserable with sewer butt, and diarhea, but after taking lactaid before each dairy product I eat I feel much better. Try it I am sure you will feel better. Best of luck. PS If only we could bottle this stuff we would never have to stop at the gas station. LOL Best regards, Brenda NJ
