Gastric Bypass w/Duodenal Switch question

I had RNY and I have days when my gas is absolutely horrible. I can often relate that to for I've eaten earlier.

Last night was horrible. But as you think back what I ate and how much, I know that it was combination of Chinese dish and some fruits I ate.

When do I get a horrible gas:

  • Any food or drink or even chewable vitamins and minerals that contains any type of Sugar Alcohols
  • Any type of beans - no matter how well they are cooked, prepared, or what digestive enzymes or herbs I take with them - even small qty of beans would cause me to have a horrible stinky gas.
  • Any high FODMAP tape foods - Google FODMAP.
  • Most raw veggies and most fruits (high in FODMAP)
  • High fiber - fiber feeds gut bacteria and I do have SIBO (Google that) so almost anything with lots of fiber, the prebiotic type fiber would cause a lot of gas created not only in my colon but also in my small intestine. That gas dies not only smell horrible, but it can cause a severe intestine pain.

To find out what was causing my issues - I went on a very specific elimination diet. Very clean eating, cooked meat and a very few cooked veggies (low FODMAP veggies), plus fat. After a week on the very restricted diet, when the gas was minimal and with almost no odur, I started introducing different foods, one item at a time, every 2 days. And recorded my body reaction to that food. If I got a lot gas, I would clean my eating again, wait a couple of days and then try adding another food.

Discovered that done foods my body tolerates better than others. The type of food, how it was prepared, and how much I ate would determine if I can eat it "freely" Ori have to limit the quantity. Or if I decide to just "have it", then I know that I probably would need to sleep upstairs. With a window cracked open, and fan going on. On days like that even the cats don't want to be near me. My guy is really super and he often knows I can't help having gas like that, but it is not fair to him and our relationship, prevent me to get exposed daily to things like that.

Some days I chose to walk in a treadmill in our exercise space to clean the "air out of me" (again with a window cracked open and fan running). (But with the doors closed).

I'd bet money that your gut bugs (intestinal flora, i.e. bacteria) are out of whack. Some notice improvement with adding probiotics. Others have to whack out everything with antibiotics and repopulate with probiotics.
