I haven't had issues with gas. When I was about 2 or 3 months out I remember that if I had any sugars in my diet--even milk sugars, I'd have nasty smelling farts. So I started taking Devrom with every meal for about 3 weeks. It totally cleared up the farting. Now that I'm 7.5 months out I haven't had any gas issues--I probably fart less than I did before surgery. I also only poop once a day at best. Sometimes I only poop once every couple of days.

I took Devrom for about a week, several times a day and it did nothing.  Do I need to try it again for longer this time?  I was newly post op when I tried it and I had a lot of gas.  I have much less gas now but am still afraid of letting one out at the wrong time...

It can be.  It can also usually be controlled by what you eat.  The thing is, we're all different post-DS in how our bodies process foods, so things that cause some people gas may have no effect on others.  It's all a learning process.  I try to avoid the things that I know cause me issues when I'm going to be around others (actually, I just try to avoid them PERIOD because when I have "bad" gas, it's usually pretty painful and not worth going through).
