A new issue

I have to say that this would be the ONLY place that I feel comfortable talking abouth this, because I think we have all been there.

So, I have increased my protein...which is good.  It has also increased a very gassy issue

I have tried the gas x strips, beano, and gas x chewables (YUCK).  They really don't help.  Some days I feel like I am going to EXPLODE. 

I know that this is not an isolated experience .  What has everyone else tried?  Does it work? 

Any help...advise would be greatly appreciated. 

I have the same problem from time to time.  I've used simethicone pills.  They're enteric coated so you need to cut them in half before you take them but they help.  They don't get rid of all of it, but they help.

Bay leaf tea is also another natural remedy for gas.  Safe enough to give to babies.  Take several bay leaves, steep in ho****er and flavor with Splenda if desired. 

Thanks Shirley,  Can I get them anywhere? 

Never tried bay leaf tea.  It must taste strange, given what bay leaf tastes like!!  It is worth a try.  By the end of the day, usually when I am at the gym, I am having a real problem. 

The simethicone pills I have I got at the Target Pharmacy.  I've also seen them at the Walmart Pharmacy, so I bet you can get them anywhere.  The Bay Leaf Tea does taste weird, but can help as well. 

I know how you feel.  Sometimes I run on a "jet-propelled" treadmill!

LOL   I know exactly what you mean!!!  I will definately look for them, and get some bay leaves!!

Hey Martha,

Sorry to hear about your issue.  I'm sure it's not a great feeling.  Luckily I haven't had gas issues and hopefully won't.  However, I'll know to come here to find a possible remedy.

I work from home    (thank goodness)                gas every day , almost hourly!!!


I do not know what if any foods are triggering but since my RNY it has happened.........


Sorry TMI          but sometimes makes me leave the room!!!!

Hi Jenn,

I definately know what you mean.  I burn candles at work all day long!!!!!

I have the same problem.  I find that it's worse after I eat fruit.  I contacted the Bean-O company, and they said that their product won't work if the gas is from fruit.  Aaaargh!  And the smell - OMG.  It's so embarassing.  I'm waiting to see if someone has a remedy too!

I know....it is so embarassing.  I just want to crawl under the gym floor.
