bad gas....peee pew....

Ok, I have been having really bad smelling gas at night. My husband relates it to me not eating right and eating things I should not. He is right and I am tryingt to correct that. Has this happened to anyone else?

Betsy, for me carbs = stinky gas. As long as I eat protein and vegetables I am fine, even fruit if I eat too much causing gas. Sorry I don't have any remedy but I agree if you go back to good choices, I bet you'll see an improvement in the gas area, lol. Dana

Ain't it great!!! Have some S/F Chocolates. Man, does that load the cannon! kp

Broccoli......

Tell hubby to get use to it, the gas will peel the paint off the walls, it is just one of the side effects of WLS. Eating different foods can make it worse. Sugar alcohols, brocolli, cabbage, etc..... Darlene

Right there with ya' I've discovered that Beano really helps alot.

Yes, I have the same problem but it's not just at night, it can happen anytime. I know I'm eating more stuff and some of it, I have no business eating but I still go back for more. You'd think I get it through my head that it's time to cut out the bad food ingestion but no....I still eat it. Sometimes my gas is so painful that I'm doubled over in pain. I think we need to go back to the basics of protein first, then veg's and fruit and cut out all this other stuff or at least limit it a lot. I know it's easier said then done but for me, I'm thinking I don't have a choice.

Buy the Bath and Body works air freshners...they come in small spray bottles....work wonders for taking away the odor. I carry one in my purse for public rest rooms. These work so much better than ordinary air freshners.

Carbs for me as well. I finally tried some Kashi Go Lean. I couldn't leave the house for 24 hours it was so bad. Torrey (281/179/160)
