gas

i am 7 months post-op and have lost 131 lbs but i have a real problem with gas. i eat chicken or turkey and green veggies such as cucumbers and green peppers and kale. this afternoon i tried a fresh pear cut in half with alittle stevia and cinnamon and nutmeg on it in the oven until it got soft. i want to make sure i can go to the bathroom so i think i overkill when it comes to the fiber issue. has anyone else had this issue before? what can you do about it besides take gas-x? can you get too much fiber? i appreciate any feedback. thanks

Try an elimination diet. Chicken only for a few days, and see if the gas stops. If it does, add in one thing only for three days. Continue until you hit whatever causes the gas.

I don't eat anything with fiber, and I'm regular as clockwork.

For ME, deadly gas (more deadly, for the peeps AROUND me!) comes when I have too much dairy, or processed carbs. How are you, with those?

Are the green peppers/cucumbers/kale all in the same day? Might be too much, right now. Like GRIM said, back off, on one thing, at a time, and see if you can find what is causing the problem

Ah, the dreaded sugar farts! We are well acquainted.

I get them too. But mine smell like candy.

Just like before surgery, gas usually comes from something you eat only now those "somethings" are different. If your variance was the pear - then it or the stevia is likely to blame.
