Gas, Gas and more Gas

Hi, I'm 3 years post op. Anyone else have excessive gas problems. Not only passing gas but the horrible pains. I have the enlarged stoma so is the food going down too fast with air? Don't know. Dr. said that at first and then last time said side effect of the surgery. It happens with anything I eat. Not just the carbs.

I'm nearly 3 years out - nope don't have that problem and very sorry you do! Is your doc going to fix your stoma or ???

The surgeon wants to fix the problem but my insurance denied the revision. I'm waiting for the letter so I can start my appeal.

I am only four weks out but I have gas constantly, even in my sleep. I was hoping it would go away soon.

Hi.. i am 11months post op. and suddenly i am having horrible gas pains. I can not seem to relieve it fast enough. I drink hot tea (decaf).. i take GAs Ex. I rub my stomach in a circular motion. its real bad.. this morning i woke up took a sip of water and 2 minutes later my stomach started bloating. i am really frustrated. I am going to look for something stronger than gasEX.. i really don't know what to do either.. i actually came here to search for some help. looks like im not the only one.. good luck to us.. let me know if you find anything that gives you some relief., i can use all the help i can get.

Hi Kathy, I am not sure what could be causing the gas but as an alternative to something invasive I would HIGHLY recomend Catnip tea. It's best if you buy it as a loose herb & boil it like you're making a very strong tea or herbal infusion. Let it sit until the herb sinks to the bottom, then strain and drink at least a cup or two daily. It helps dispel gas naturally and it is also an antispasmotic and is very relaxing & soothing. It should help to ease your pain. I hope that works out for you! ~hugs~ ~Conchita

Thanks for the idea. It is such an embarrassing disgusting problem.
