My poops are now so delightful, I could sell them as AIR FRESHENER!!!

Honest!

Gas X Strips!

They contain sugar alcohols.

Well, I'm not a dumper so I love them.

It's not about dumping...I don' t even have the RnY.  It's that a good portion of the population, including my skinny BIL who has never had wls, cannot handle sugar alcohols.

They have a "laxative effect."  And many of us need far less than the amounts shown:

Are sugar alcohols safe?

The FDA has determined that sugar alcohols are safe for people to consume. However, you should consume them in moderation. Sugar alcohols are slowly absorbed by your body, so eating excessive amounts of sugar alcohols can lead to bloating and diarrhea. According to the American Dietetic Association, consuming more than 50 grams of sorbitol or 20 grams of mannitol per day can cause diarrhea. The FDA requires foods and drinks that contain sorbitol or mannitol to include a warning label describing this laxative effect.

Ah, gotcha Sue. Thanks.

Well, I might give it a try for times when I'm out in public.  I live alone and other than the discomfort, it's not too bad.  Depends on what I eat.  Of course, my dog goes everywhere with me, so I can often blame it on him if they're quiet!  

Ah, the good ol' "my dog did it" defense!!

I use the Devrom and Gutbuddies in combo. Do you use a really good probiotic?

They really get rid of the bloating and gas for me, like everything else, I take two a day instead of one. This combination make me a much more pleasant person to be around!
