Help I can't deal with the gas anymore!!!

Hi everyone; I am having a problem and I need some advice... I am 10 months out from my WLS. I am down over 100#'s and feeling great except for one thing... I have such gas and diarrhea sometimes.. I don't have any sugar, watch the fats really close. Seems like no matter what I eat it gives me gas.. It is embarassing.. I tried all the gas products on the market and nothing seems to help... Any ideas.. I have mostly protein meals, sometimes I have lo carb bread or lo carb crackers.. but nothing seems to set right with me.. My DH says air gives me gas....What's a gal to do?? Please I am in great gastric distress...pardon the pun.. But this is starting to be a bother now.. Thanks for all your support and kindness. Lynda C from Sturtevant

Hi Lynda! Congrats on your weight loss thus far! You are doing terrific!! As for the gas, was wondering if you are drinking anything with your meals?? Sometimes if you do, especially if carbonated, it can give you terrible gas. My surgeon says no drinking 1 hour before or after a meal. I am sorry you are in such distress, as we all know that increase "flatus" (in the medical world) is a discomfort that many post-ops experience. Have you discussed this with your doctor yet? Perhaps they have some good ideas for you too! I have heard gas-X works well, but have yet to try that. Sounds like you have tried most ways to help. Let us know if something works well for you, as I am sure it will help someone else on the boards too!! Take good care, and best wishes for a continued successful journey!! Traci

Hi Lynda, Just tried a new product that seems to work good. It made by Imodium, and it's for diareha and gas. It's also a chewable. It worked well for me. Give it a try. Bobbi-Jo

Hi Bobbi-Jo; You said you tried a new product, what is it?? I would like to try it... I haven't had any results with other products... Thanks, Lynda

Hi Linda, All I know it's made by Imodium, and on the package it says for gas and diarrhea. It's a chewable. You can find it at Wal-Mart in, by the other Imodium products. Bobbi-Jo
