Do Eggs and/or coffee make you gassy?

Just curious. I have recently added eggs into my tuna salad for some more protein but I am finding that I feel kind of gassy inside since I've been eating eggs. I don't think I ever notice when I eat scrambled eggs, so I am just wondering if anyone else feels like this with eggs?

And what about with coffee? I start feeling the same gassy feeling if I drink one of the SF Vanilla Iced Coffee's from McD's. I don't do it everyday, but when I do, I feel it. Anyone else?

April,

I had gas no matter what I ate when I was at your stage.  So I cannot help you there.

Be careful with those iced coffees.  Caffine (sp) is supposed to make us hungier. 
Just get some of those Gas-X strips, and you should be okay.

Thanks Kim for both pieces of advice.

Oh, and by the way... Plentyoffish.com... WOW.

You are welcome.  Yeah girlfriend.  Check that site out (if you are single to mingle).

Hey Kim! I was recently on there and met a couple guys.  I'm actually seeing someone from there right now, not sure if I wanna take it long term though.  I'm liking the single life a little.  He took me to the Raiders Game last Saturday. 

Have fun with it!!

Hi Catt,

Glad you are having fun with the guys on the site.  I am going to do the same.

Honey - water makes me gassy! LOLOL  Seriously, it (along with constipation) are the two most annoying challenges I face since WLS.  I have found that chewable gas x (the strips didn't work so well for me) and plenty of clear fluids in a day make a big difference.  I have also found that when the 'regularity' issue is troublesome, the gas situation tends to be worse.  So I am trying to get myself on a regular regimen of Colace every day to manage that better.

Cathy recently I was facing the constipation issue bad. No amount of coloace or MOM was helping me to get regular until I came across this stuff called "colon cleanse" at Trader Joes. It is a fiber supplement and I have been regular ever since. It does not bother my stomach like colace does either and it is cheaper! If you go to a pharmacy do not get confused because they also sell a laxative too. This is the exact name of it and it has a graphic on the front (simple) in green and white...no frill design. Well worth it!

Warm coffee from the beginning stages of my WLS had me severely gassy, but I kept drinking it because I love it!  Iced coffee doesn't do that to me.  Also, any veggie other than lettuce makes me gassy.  Dairy has always made me gassy.  A close friend of mines ended up having IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).  She like her coffee too.  It made her miserably gassy.  Hope this helps.
